How GPs in Melbourne Can Reduce Their Moratorium While Balancing Family Life
Overseas-trained doctors in Australia face a significant challenge: the 10-year moratorium imposed by the Government. This requires them to work in workforce shortage areas, also known as Distribution Priority Areas (DPA), or during after-hours periods. For many GPs living in Melbourne, this creates a difficult situation. DPA areas often lack the schools, infrastructure, and services their families need, forcing doctors to choose between their career and family commitments.
But what if there was a way to reduce this moratorium while still being based in Melbourne?
The Remote Work Reduction Scheme
There is a way to cut down the moratorium through a scheme that allows doctors to reduce the required ten years by working in remote areas. The more remote the location, the greater the reduction in moratorium time. However, moving to remote areas is not always practical for doctors with family commitments in Melbourne.
Balancing Family Life with Remote Work
The good news is that a working arrangement is available for doctors who want to remain mostly in Melbourne but still benefit from the moratorium reduction.
This path allows doctors to manage their professional commitments without compromising their family’s needs.
