2016 Rural GP and Practice Workforce Surveys
Once every three years, the RDWA asks rural GPs and Practice Managers to complete the Rural GP and Practice Surveys.
The survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and it gives you the opportunity to give us information that will help to ensure that we are providing you with the services and programs that you need to feel supported working in country South Australia.
It also gives us important data which we use to influence policy and decision making of governments regarding issues that impact on the rural doctor workforce.
In the last week you would have received an email with a link to the survey or a hard copy. If you can not locate the email with your unique ID or have not received a hard copy, please contact the RDWA on 08 8234 8277 or email information@ruraldoc.com.au.
The survey is also available on the Workforce Surveys page on our website, the unique ID displayed in the email is required to complete the survey via the website.
For those people who would rather complete a paper survey, you can either download a PDF version of the Rural GP Workforce Survey or Rural Practice Workforce Survey, fill it in and send it back, or you can contact the RDWA on 08 8234 8277 and we will send you a hard copy.
