Financial support calculator
There are also several financial supports, provided by the Commonwealth Government, available to rural and remote doctors, at various levels of training and/or experience. A calculator has been developed by Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) which aims to help individuals understand what they may be entitled to, and easily access individual program information.
The calculator provides a guide only to the maximum level of financial support available to rural and remote doctors, based on the search parameters and a full year. This calculator can be accessed through RDAA financial support calculator.
