MDRAP transitioned to the Pre-Fellowship Program in 2023–24
MDRAP is no longer accepting applications.
In the 2023-24 Budget we replaced the More Doctors for Rural Australia Program (MDRAP) with the Pre-Fellowship Program (PFP).
The PFP will support doctors working in areas of service access need who are seeking to move into fellowship training. Rural Workforce Agencies will deliver this trial from 2 April 2024.
