Yes. You can extend your rural placement beyond the six months (full-time equivalent) requirement. If you wish to stay longer than twelve months you may be required to transfer to rural pathway and meet the training location obligations for that subregion.
Yes. GP Synergy (and other bodies) provide a range of supports and subsidies for GP registrars during rural training. See the support and subsidy page for more information.
Composite pathway registrars are still required to meet their GP Synergy and AGPT Training Location Obligation (TLO) requirements as specified.
Exemptions and transfers are uncommon as they require evidence of extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances. If you know of a reason that will prevent you from completing your training location obligations for the subregion that you have been allocated on offer, you should not accept the offer.
