Donations
The College is expecting a large number of family doctors/general practitioners will attend from developing nations from the Asia Pacific region and beyond. Many of these will be doctors who will have difficulty in affording the costs associated with attending this conference. Under the auspice of the Wonca/ASC Social Committee, the RACGP Victoria Faculty is coordinating a bursaries fund to assist delegates from developing countries to attend the conference.

This is a wonderful opportunity to provide support for GP/family doctors from developing countries to allow them access to an educational and cultural experience that they would otherwise be unable to attend.

We invite you to help us support the delegates from developing nations to attend the conference through the bursaries fund. It's a truly great opportunity to extend the hand of friendship and aid to our colleagues who may practice in nations less fortunate than our own.

Donations can be make via the online registration form.
