Abstract
  • The Australian Government will provide $275 million over 4 years to general practice infrastructure across Australia with the rollout of 31 General Practice Super Clinics.

  • One of the core objectives of these Super Clinics is to support medical education.

  • Several studies have demonstrated that the major barriers to teaching in general practice are time, space and money.

  • We argue that General Practice Super Clinics can provide a responsive, flexible work culture; and improved payment and targeted resources to support the need for increased teaching capacity, and to attract and retain workforce for general practice and primary care.
