Through the Joint Colleges Training Services (JCTS), the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) are delivering shared General Practitioner (GP) training activities for the Colleges' respective Fellowship training programs. This includes the development and delivery of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health strategic plans, cultural education and cultural mentorship, the provision of Registrar housing in some remote Northern Territory communities, and other potential areas of collaboration.
Our first and most important priority is to ensure continuity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Training initiatives and support.
