As part of efforts to encourage doctors to work in rural and remote locations, there are incentives payable to doctors working in non-metro areas.
The amounts that doctors can receive under the Workforce Incentive Program (WIP) Doctor Stream are listed here:
Location (MM) | Year Level 1 | Year Level 2 | Year Level 3 | Year Level 4 | Year Level 5 plus |
MM 3 | $0 | $4,500 | $7,500 | $7,500 | $12,000 |
MM 4 | $0 | $8,000 | $13,000 | $13,000 | $18,000 |
MM 5 | $0 | $12,000 | $17,000 | $17,000 | $23,000 |

MM 7 | $25,000 | $25,000 | $35,000 | $35,000 | $60,000 |
You can use the Health Workforce Locator to find the MM listing for a given location.
