Medical graduates who choose to go into general practice are being offered a $40,000 (US$26,000) incentive in a bid to reverse the decline in those choosing to become GPs.

Up to 800 grants are up for grabs with 400 on offer this year and the remaining 400 in 2025, for those who begin studying to become a GP in Victoria.
