The Centre supports the professional learning and development of practitioners in remote, rural, and island practice. There is a need to support practitioners with increased access to technology enabled learning. Accessible education & training will support primary care practitioners’ professional development and contribute to increased retention.

To provide equity of access to rural practitioners, the training development will be made available online.
