500 Registrars' Grants
WentWest is now offering a grant of up to $500 per Registrar per training year towards a post graduate diploma (or similar), relevant to their GP training. To find out more, contact your Medical Educator.
- ATAPS referrals capped
Due to the overwhelming number of referrals and the limitations in funding, referrals for General ATAPS have been capped at five referrals per GP per month. If GPs do need to refer beyond the monthly limit a request will need to be sent to WentWest in writing to justify reasons. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Referrals for non-general ATAPS continue as normal. For more information please contact WentWest on (02) 8833 8029 or email support@wentwest.com.au
