Community Planning Forums

RWAV facilitated a series of Provincial Planning Workshops. These workshops were based on local government areas that brought together the major stakeholders to develop a community workforce plan for attracting and recruiting doctors and profiling the opportunities and lifestyle of their region.

The aim of the workshops was to focus on what is critical to the maintenance of sustainable communities and business operations, and identify new models of rural practice to increase the sustainability of health services provided to rural communities.

The workshops identified new and innovative models of sustainable practice, which will help attract more doctors to provincial Victoria and improve the profile of rural medicine.

Community Forums

Outcomes from the workshops included the establishment of a steering group to implement the agreed action plans, and co-ordinate the responsibilities and contributions to be made by key partners. These would result in action outcomes for promotion, marketing and recruitment activities in the region.
