Flexible Approach to Training in Expanded Settings (FATES)
Rural Directors of Training (Rural DoTs)
The RANZCP's Rural Psychiatry Roadmap 2021-31 emphasises building the rural psychiatry workforce with the development of a dedicated Rural Psychiatry Training Pathway (RPTP). Its focus is on expanding opportunities for aspiring psychiatrists to live, train and practice rurally, including the establishment of dedicated and sustainable regional, rural and remote training pathways to Fellowship.
The RANZCP was successful in its application under the FATES program administered by the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care for funding to assist with addressing the workforce shortage in regional, rural and remote Australia.
The RANZCP applied to invest in innovative models of supervision, increasing the training systems quality and capacity. This modelling included supporting the roll-out of three new Rural Directors of Training (DoT) for local health jurisdictions to create a network of Rural DoTs in Australia.
The program was governed through the Rural Director of Training (Rural DoT) Guidelines.
