  • teaching and research capacity building, including:
    • regular member newsletters
    • regular lunchtime seminars on medical student supervision
    • monthly primary care research seminars (commencing mid-2024)
  • development of onboarding education material​
  • regular engagement with external stakeholders to enhance supervision capacity and support broader training initiatives

The members hail from all over NSW, including metropolitan Sydney and regional and rural NSW, especially around the UNSW rural clinical campuses located in Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Wagga Wagga, Albury and Griffith.
