The Rural Health Professionals Program (RHPP) is a financial incentive program designed to attract, recruit and retain nursing and allied health professionals from Australian metropolitan and approved overseas locations, to work in regional and remote communities. Financial assistance is used to aid in relocation to the new community and can be allocated for relocation costs, rental assistance and ongoing professional development.

For further information regarding RHPP, please contact the RWAV recruitment team (03) 9349 7800.

RWAV’s focus is on the recruitment and retention of nurses and allied health professionals into rural and regional areas.  We don’t assist with sourcing positions in hospitals.

No. RWAV is the rural workforce agency for Victoria. Each state has its own agency that attends to the primary healthcare needs of their state.
