The Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training (RHMT) Program supports health students to undertake rural training through a network of rural clinical schools, university departments of rural health, dental faculties offering extended rural placements, and the Northern Territory Medical Program (Flinders University). The program also supports 26 regional training hubs tasked with building medical training pathways within a region and guiding students and trainees through these. The aim of the RHMT Program is to improve the recruitment and retention of health professionals in rural and remote Australia. There are 21 universities currently participating in the program across Australia.
In 2019, the Department of Health commissioned an independent evaluation of the RHMT program to be completed by mid-2020.
