The cost $3,500 per Rural Hospital Doctor, $950 per Rural General Practitioner, $500 per Nurse or Paramedic. We encourage you to come as an inter-professional team from your workplace if possible, however we also warmly welcome individual applicants
*We recognise that Nurses have limited professional development funds, so we encourage Rural Hospital Doctors to support their colleagues by extending their CME to sponsor a nurse from their hospital to attend.
