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.
