General practitioners willing to move to remote and rural Tasmania for work will be offered a $100,000 settlement allowance over five years as part of a $4 million state government rural health initiative. It will also wipe HECS debts up to $100,000 — the average student debt racked up by GPs — for doctors willing to work in outer urban areas.
Another 20 per cent of the allowance, or $20,000, will be paid in the second year, another 30 per cent, or $30,000, will be paid in the third year, and 40 per cent, $40,000, will be paid in the fourth year. The payments are made at the completion of each year. It is hoped the push will fill 40 positions in the state. The final guidelines, and how to apply, will be released by August 1, 2024.
