A new GP NOW Rapid Response Team is recruiting from today, 13 July, with job advertisements live.
The GP NOW Rapid Response Team will be made up of 10 GPs that can be deployed to support rural and regional communities around the State when and where needed.
GP NOW will provide crisis support and intervention to communities where private general practice is experiencing challenges to help ensure Tasmanians can still see a doctor while a more viable, long-term solution is explored.
With recruitment now live, Tasmanians can expect to see this team up and running by September 2024.
The GP Now Rapid Response Team will be an extension of the successful Care@home program, with GPs to be based in Cambridge, Launceston and Latrobe.
