Know More About MMM
ĂThe Modified Monash Model (MMM) defines whether a location is a city, rural, remote or very remote.
To be eligible for an RWAV grant, health professionals must be working in an eligible health service in a regional Victorian MMM 2 - 7 location.
For some grants, health professionals working in an Aboriginal health service in a MMM 1 location may also be eligible. Please read the grant guidelines for more.
If you are unsure about your MMM location, you can check using the Health Workforce Locator. To see which MMM area you are located in, tick 2019 next to Modified Monash Model in the search box.
