The project will include the development of a primary healthcare framework, training programs for nurses, and the deployment of trained nurses to rural areas. The goal is to improve healthcare access and outcomes for the rural and indigenous population.

Project Plan
Template & Guide
What is a Project Plan?
A Project Plan is the management document for the project. It is owned, maintained and utilised by the
Steering Committee to ensure the delivery of project outputs/deliverables and for the realisation of project
outcomes.
Why would you develop a Project Plan?
A Project Plan is developed to provide:
 an overview of all the project components; how you intend to produce the outputs/deliverables
and a brief description of the roles and responsibilities of each of the stakeholders;
 the project’s sponsor/steering committee/senior management with a documented framework
for the delivery of defined project objectives and the effective monitoring of the project from
start to finish; and
 a formalised agreement between the Project Sponsor/Steering Committee/Senior Management
and the Project Manager of what needs to be delivered and when.
When would you develop a Project Plan?
Approval to develop a Project Plan for a small project may come from senior management or be
obtained from the acceptance or approval of a preceding stage such as a Project Proposal, or Project
Business Case.
What you need before you start:
 Agreement to proceed with the development of the Project Plan from the Project Sponsor.
(Assume this has already been received.)
 Knowledge and understanding of project planning, scope definition, stakeholder identification,
risk identification and the development of work breakdown structures.
 Awareness of the organisation’s corporate strategies &/or goals.
What you will have when you are finished:

Overview
1. Executive Summary
This project is primarily based on the development of a suitable primary healthcare model
for the rural and indigenous people of Australia where people lack health awareness as well
as healthcare services. According to a survey published online, at least 75% people from
rural and indigenous areas do not receive even primary healthcare treatment and die from
diseases at much younger ages than usual. It has also been found that the aboriginal people
are even more affected by the problem as they have various determinants against modern
processes like healthcare and others. Of the main diseases that are extensively noticed in
among these people, the most diseases come from food, water and hygiene. While primary
healthcare is not the ultimate solution to the problem, but it certainly be one strong step
towards the development of good healthcare system in the rural areas. Furthermore, the
development of a primary healthcare will also raise awareness among the rural and
indigenous people so that they accept healthcare services to prevent and cure diseases that
are causing untimely deaths or physical complications among them. The initial plan for the
project is to develop a primary healthcare framework with special training to nurses who will
then able to reach the rural areas and provide primary healthcare to the people in those
regions. In addition to the healthcare framework, a suitable educational infrastructure will
also be developed that will host internship and training programs for the graduate nurses.
The overall primary healthcare infrastructure will be developed with a community based
model with emphasis on the rural and indigenous people of the country.

Overview
2. Overview
2.1. Project Title
Education Package for New Graduate Nurses in General Practice (Rural posting to help the
rural and indigenous people overcome various primary healthcare problems)
2.2. Project Background
The main background of this project involves the shorter life spans of rural and indigenous
people of Australia that mainly happens due to the lack of awareness regarding diseases and
hygiene. According to a survey published online, at least 75% people from rural and
indigenous areas do not receive even primary healthcare treatment and die from diseases at
much younger ages than usual. It has also been found that the aboriginal people are even
more affected by the problem as they have various determinants against modern processes
like healthcare and others. Of the main diseases that are extensively noticed in among these
people, the most diseases come from food, water and hygiene. The project focuses on
solving these problems as well as abolishing the social stigma regarding the healthcare
services in the rural communities and provide appropriate primary healthcare to the rural
and indigenous people.
However, in order to achieve such a goal, it is first required to train graduate nurses in
general practice before they are posted in the rural areas for primary healthcare purposes.
2.3. Project Problem Statement & Project Goal
2.3.1. Project Problem Statement
The main problem that will be addressed through this project is the lack of sufficient training
of nursing graduates in general practice so that they can be posted in the rural areas for the
rural and indigenous primary healthcare initiative. Hence, the focus for this project is
providing the graduate nurses with sufficient training in general practice.
2.3.2. Project Goal
The main goal of the project is to develop a primary healthcare framework with special
training to nurses who will then able to reach the rural areas and provide primary healthcare
to the people in those regions. In addition to the healthcare framework, a suitable
educational infrastructure is also planned to be developed that will host internship and
training programs for the graduate nurses. The overall primary healthcare infrastructure will
be developed with a community based model with emphasis on the rural and indigenous
people of the country.
2.4. Objective(s)
Three SMART objectives of the project are listed as follows.
 To develop an educational infrastructure for graduate nurses including an internship
program in which the nurses will be taught about providing primary healthcare
services to the rural areas within the next 1 year
Education Package for New Graduate Nurses in a General Practice Project Plan v 1.0
Page 7 of 25

Communications & Stakeholder Management Plans
 To develop an internship program for the nursing graduates that will train the nurses
for rural healthcare
 To conduct a detailed survey in the rural and indigenous communities in order to
determine the current condition and the main problems and issues that need to be
mitigated
2.5. Output(s) (Deliverables)
The outputs (deliverables) of the project are as follows.
 A new general practice training infrastructure for internship training of the graduate
nurses for providing primary healthcare in rural areas and among the indigenous
communities
 Posting of the trained nurses in the rural areas for the primary healthcare initiative
2.6. Outcome(s)
The desired outcomes for the project include:
 At least 500 graduate nurses deployed at various rural locations in the country for
providing primary healthcare services
 Around 200 graduate nurses studying in the general practice internship program
within the next 2 years
2.7. Exclusions
This particular project is specific to the development of primary healthcare infrastructure for
the rural and indigenous communities and hence, it excludes the training of junior doctors
and assignment of doctors in the rural areas. This is not within the realistic targets of the
project and hence, for the project, only the training of nurses is included. Moreover, this
project also excludes the development of training of nurses from grass root level as it will
require the development of a huge infrastructure that will in turn require a huge amount of
investment that is not possible considering the current scope of the project.
2.8. Assumptions and Constraints
2.8.1. Assumptions
It has been assumed in the project that the general practice internship training for the
nurses will be sufficient for them to provide primary healthcare services. Furthermore, it has
been assumed with sufficient awareness campaigns, the indigenous and the rural people will
accept primary healthcare services and will contact the nurses for help in case of diseases or
medical conditions.
2.8.2. Constraints
The main constraint in this project is that most of the graduate nurses are not willing to get
posted in the rural areas and hence, they may not accept the general practice training as
proposed in this project.

3. Scope & Time Management Plans
3.1. Methodology of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Activities
When a project is broken down into several activities and deliverables, it is known as a work
breakdown structure. The purpose of the work breakdown structure is to divide the project
into activities that can act as mini projects such that they can be used to individual
scheduling and budgeting. These individual schedules and budget are then added up to
determine the final budget and schedule. The work breakdown structure also helps to
determine the critical path of the project that is important to estimate the minimum
duration required to complete the project.

Communications & Stakeholder Management Plans
4.2. Communications Management Plan
Communication is essential in any project to develop effective team work and team
bonding as well as ensure there is a proper flow of information between stakeholders. In
this project, communication management is essential to ensure the stakeholders update
each other about the project to remain well informed, especially in the tasks that are
connected to each other. For example, the campaign manager must inform the project
manager about the success of the campaign in order to proceed with the project.
Furthermore, before the general practice training program is initiated, the graduate nurses
will have to be communicated through advertisements and brochures so that they can
apply for enrolment in the program.
4.3. Reporting Requirements
In order to ensure proper streamlining of project related information from the low to the
higher management levels, reporting is absolutely necessary. The project team members
will report daily to the team manager who will in turn report weekly to the project
manager. The project manager will report to the management once every month regarding
project success.

Risk Management Plan
7. Risk Management Plan
7.1. Introduction
A risk management plan is defined as a specific project oriented plan that aims to identify the
risks associated with the project. Based on the identification of the risks, prioritization is
performed so that the risks are arranged as per their priority and impact score on the project.
Accordingly, the risk management plan is developed that looks to mitigate the risks in order of
their priorities.
