Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) Revenue and Competitors

The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) is one of two colleges in Australia responsible for setting and arbitrating standards for the medical specialty of general practice. Although our graduates may practise anywhere in Australia, our programs particularly focus on the unique scope and depth of clinical skills, knowledge and values that are required by practitioners working in rural and remote contexts. The College is responsible for setting professional standards for training, assessment, certification and continuing professional development. It also plays an important role in supporting medical students and junior doctors considering a career in rural practice. General practitioners who achieve these standards are recognised through the award of Fellowship of ACRRM. Fellows of ACRRM receive full vocational recognition for Medicare purposes and are able to practise in any location throughout Australia. The College is committed to creating better care for rural and remote communities by providing quality education programs, innovative support and strong representation.
