General Practitioner Anaesthetist Locum Scheme (GPALS)

GPALS commenced in September 2009 and provides locum support for GP anaesthetists in rural and remote locations.

GPALS aims to maintain and enhance the access of rural communities to quality local GP anaesthetist care by providing the rural and remote GP anaesthetist workforce with efficient and cost effective locum support. GPALS sustains the safety and quality of rural GP anaesthetist practice by facilitating access to personal leave for professional development or breaks from on-call commitments.
