The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners said the 2025 intake of trainee GPs reached capacity for the first time in years, jumping by nearly 20 per cent compared to 2024.
"This 20 per cent growth in GPs in training is a sign the GP workforce is recovering. But it can't be taken as a sign the job is done," RACGP president Dr Nicole Higgins said. The RACGP trains 90 per cent of Australia's GP including doctors in crucial rural areas and Indigenous communities."We've shown we can train more GPs, and we've shown we can get GPs to the communities who need them most, including rural and regional communities," she said.Royal Australian College of General Practitioners president Dr Nicole Higgins said it's not enough to solve the shortage. Higgins said Australians need GPs for the health sector to thrive.
