With rural communities all over Australia struggling to attract and retain GPs, Orbost Regional Health (ORH) wants to try something different.
Despite a number of requirements and incentives designed to push more local and overseas doctors to rural areas, the shortage of doctors in rural communities persists.
A 2020 study by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found that around 20 percent of Australia's rural population was unable to see a GP due to none being close by.
"We know this is a problem for our community, for many communities, and so we are looking for new ways to attract and keep GPs here, and other healthcare worker," ORH chief executive officer, Vicki Farthing, said.
"We want to make this beautiful area of ours stand out as a great place for health professionals and their families to be."
