THE Minister for Health Tanya
Plibersek has announced a hundred
and fifty new specialist training
positions for doctors beginning in
2013.
The move is part of the
government’s $346 million
commitment to better access to
health specialists.
“In 2013, the Australian
Government will fund salaries and
supervision costs for 750 trainee
doctors across Australia as part of
our Specialist Training Program,”
said Plibersek.
“Around half of these positions
will be in rural, regional and remote
locations - areas of greatest need
for additional medical specialists.
“This is an increase on the 600
posts in 2012 – and a record
investment,” she added.
