2022 Rural Community Residency Program

The rural Community Residency Program (CRP) is an exciting, competitive and highly regarded program available to Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) in Western Australia. It is a great opportunity for RMOs to expand their skill set in a challenging, interesting and supportive environment.

RMOs with a new or existing clinical position in 2022 at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital or Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital may be eligible to undertake a rural CRP term.

You will remain contracted and salaried to your Primary Employing Health Service (PEHS) but will be released to WACHS on secondment for one term.

Rural CRP Eligibility

At the time of placement, you will need to:

• Hold a general registration with the Medical Board of Australia

• Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident

• Be employed as a RMO at Fiona Stanley Hospital, Royal Perth Hospital or Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital for 2022

How to Apply

RMOs can express their interest in a rural CRP placement on the MedJobsWA vacancy “2022 Rural Community Residency Program”. Applications can be submitted on MedJobsWA from 24 May 2021 until 22 June 2021. This is separate to the single centralised application process for RMOs and SMRs.

A short statement of interest (maximum 2 pages) and curriculum vitae will need to be included with your application. These will be reviewed by a panel and used to assess your rural CRP application.
