The RACGP’s Hackathon provides the opportunity to be part of developing solutions to general practice challenges, and GPs can apply now.
Details for the 2025 Hackathon have been announced, where GPs can be involved in developing solutions to challenges facing their profession.

RACGP Hackathon returns in 2025
Date: Friday 28 – Sunday 30 March 2025
Location: Sydney, NSW (venue TBA)
After a four-year hiatus, members are invited to join forces with developers and clinical entrepreneurs to tackle real challenges impacting general practice at the RACGP’s 2025 Hackathon.
During this three-day event, participants will be presented with a problem, then work in groups to develop and prototype their solutions. Teams will present their findings to a judging panel of four digital health experts, with prizes awarded to the winning group.
The inaugural 2019 Hackathon saw the winning team presenting at the RACGP’s annual conference on innovative solutions to communication barriers in antenatal care, with the last Hackathon held in 2020 before a pause during the pandemic.
Expressions of interest are open now until 31 January 2025. For more information or to submit an EOI, visit the RACGP website.

The RACGP’s Member Engagement Survey closes on Friday 29 November at 11.59 (AEDT).
