Fixing rural and remote health

This National Press Club Address, Fixing Rural and Remote Health, outlined key reform priorities in rural and remote health, including the need for greater fairness for the seven million people who live in rural and remote Australia. If disparities in health outcomes between people from rural and remote areas and people from cities can be addressed, there is potential for increased productivity and economic growth.

The speakers on November 22 were Geri Malone, Chair of the National Rural Health Alliance; Janine Mohamed, CEO of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torrs Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives; and Martin Laverty, CEO of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.
