Welcome to the RACGP online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.

The RACGP has partnered with CommBank Health to help improve financial wellbeing for Australia’s GPs. The partnership focuses on introducing the right financial tools, services and education for GPs at all career stages, helping them develop the skills and confidence to manage their finances, build long-term wealth for the future and grow a financially resilient practice.

As part of this partnership, CommBank Health is providing support to the RACGP Foundation. Together with CommBank Health, the RACGP Foundation is pleased to offer GP practice owners the opportunity to apply to receive an education grant package.

Award details

20 x Practice Owners Education Grants are available. Each grant includes:

  • One registration to the RACGP Practice Owners National Conference in Adelaide on 20-21 May 2023*
  • One registration to the Practice Owners Masterclass on 19 May 2023. The Masterclass is a one-day interactive workshop aiming to step you through the development of a successful business and strategic plan.

*Successful applicants who have already registered to the conference and/or masterclass will be reimbursed their registration costs.

Please note that the grant covers registration only, and successful applicants will be required to make their own travel arrangements.

Eligibility

To be eligible for an RACGP Foundation / CommBank Health Practice Owners Education Grant, the applicant must be a general practitioner AND a practice owner.

While practice owners who have already registered to the conference are eligible to apply, preference will be given to applicants who are unlikely to attend the Practice Owners National Conference and Masterclass without a Practice Owners Education Grant.

Selection criteria

Applications will be assessed against the following criteria:

  • Demonstration of potential benefit to the practice owner 40%
  • Demonstration of potential benefit to the practice and its patients 40%
  • Likelihood of attending the Practice Owners National Conference and Masterclass without a grant 20%
