To address GP shortages, particularly in rural areas the Victorian Government is trialling a Single Employer Model (SEM) in 2025. Junior doctors can remain employed within the public health system while training as GPs or rural generalists, ensuring continuity of employment and entitlements like parental leave.

John Ryan, Senior Workplace Relations Advisor with AMA Victoria discusses the concept with the Bongiorno Group’s Marketing & Communications Director, Anneliese Shortt. John says the trial will occur at three regional health services: Grampians Health, Mildura Base, and Bairnsdale hospitals. SEM aims to increase GP training uptake, with potential expansion statewide and nationally.

The Money Doctors is proudly brought to you by leading financial services organisation the Bongiorno Group, the preferred tax and accounting partner for the Australian Medical Association Victoria.
