General Practice Registrars have known it for years. Training in Wagga Wagga offers a world of possibilities. Not only do you benefit from living in one of the largest towns in the region, you can also specify a very unique type of training. You see, Wagga Wagga is classified as RRMA 3 so General Pathway Registrars do not have to do a rural term, or an outer Metro term. Instead, you can focus on your training in one location – perfect if you’re planning or have a family you want to avoid the disruption of moving around.

Importantly, Wagga Wagga is accessible by air from Sydney and Melbourne and only four and a half hours drive from either. This makes it feasible to commute on weekends, or as often as you like.
