A historic milestone for rural healthcare.

Rural Generalist (RG) recognition is now official, with Rural Generalist Medicine formally recognised as Australia’s newest specialty field.

This achievement is the result of decades of advocacy and leadership by ACRRM, our members and partners, who have championed the vital role that Rural Generalists play in meeting rural, remote and First Nations community health outcomes. Rural Generalists deliver comprehensive primary care together with specific emergency care and advanced specialised services in procedural and non-procedural practice.

This milestone will help attract, train, and retain more doctors where they are needed most, ensuring communities can continue to access the high-quality care they deserve, close to home.

This is just the beginning. Together, we are shaping a stronger future for rural healthcare.
