About RaRMS

RaRMS was established by the NSW Rural Doctors Network as a not for profit company to provide surgery management support to rural medical practices.

The Easy Entry, Gracious Exit model or Walk in - Walk out approach, aims to make general practice in rural areas more attractive by enabling GPs to work as clinicians without having to be small business owners and managers.

Since 2001, the RaRMS Easy Entry, Gracious Exit model has evolved and has succeeded in attracting and retaining doctors in remote NSW and in facilitating a greatly expanded range of medical, nursing and allied health services available from its surgeries.

The RaRMS Easy Entry, Gracious Exit model provides GPs with more predictable, less onerous work commitments and removes the need for any significant up front financial investment. This in turn allows GPs more freedom to come and go as needed without causing unnecessary disruption for their patients.

RaRMS is discussing solutions with a number of NSW vunerable rural communities and is available to any rural community who are seeking assistance.
