Welcome to RRIPA

The Rural and Remote Incentive Programs Assistance Service (RRIPA) pronounced "ripper" is a new initiative developed by Health Workforce Queensland with the support of the Rural Doctors Association of Queensland.   Under one roof, RRIPA provides information and links to the plethora of incentives and support programs available, both financial and non-financial, government and non-government, to current and prospective rural medical practitioners in Queensland.  RRIPA will provide a quick overview of these programs and relevant available contact information.

For further information regarding our new RRIPA website, please contact the RRIPA Team at Health Workforce Queensland.   We want RRIPA to continue to assist current and prospective medical professionals in Queensland to gain access to information on the variety of rurally relevant incentive programs and tools available from a myriad of places on the net, but until now have been unsure where to look!  Look no more, RRIPA is here!

Striving to Improve!  

Health Workforce Queensland is a certified company under the ISO 9001-2008 International Standard.  Our aim is to continually improve our services for our customers and RRIPA is our 2009 testimony to this.  We plan to seek extra funding for the expansion of RRIPA to include other professions, e.g. Nurse Practitioners,  Allied Health and Pharmacy in the next phase.  If you have any suggestions on how we can further improve the efficiency and effectiveness of RRIPA , please don't hesitate to contact the RRIPA Team.
