Role
The Distribution Working Group (DWG) provides us and the Minister for Health, Disability and Ageing. It provides independent advice relating to workforce distribution mechanisms that support equitable access to medical services across Australia.
We are currently working with the Minister’s Office to refresh the DWG. Updated information on the group’s role, terms of reference and membership will be published once finalised.
Previous DWGs met between 2017 and 2022. See their archived terms of reference.
Terms of reference and membership
The 2026 terms of reference and membership will be published once finalised.
Exceptional circumstances reviews
From 2021 to 2025 the DWG assessed applications for an area’s Distribution Priority Area classification review. The DWG is no longer responsible for this. Further information can be found at:
