Huge congrats and kudos to outgoing Rural Doctors Association of Australia president @AColtzau for his dedication, service and outstanding achievements during his 2y term, including funding (62m) for a National #ruralgeneralist pathway! #destinationrural#RMA19#legend
Great opportunity to discuss Rural Health Commissioner @PaulWorleySA draft recommendations to improve allied health access in rural and remote communities with @MarkCoultonMP, @NRHACEO, @SARRAHealth and others at National Rural Health Stakeholders Roundtable.
Great discussions with @MarkCoultonMP @PaulWorleySA@NRHACEO@ACRRM and others at National Rural Health Stakeholders Roundtable, acknowledging the importance of a team approach to rural health care, and developing the rural workforce across all disciplines.
Completely agree with you @DarrenChesterMP. Let’s work together to make these recommendations a reality. Demand-driven funding for university places in regional areas a perfect place to start @LaTrobeAW@CharlesSturtUni#auspol
If you care about regional education outcomes, read this report. City kids aren’t smarter than country kids, they just have better access to universities and lower cost barriers to achieving a degree in their chosen areas. Well done Denis Napthine - a blueprint for change #auspol
With my friend Professor Stewart Mennin from Brazil. Three decades of leadership in health professions education in North and South America that have had influence globally. He demonstrated the impact of learning in small rural communities in New Mexico - and it still works!
A strong Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research workforce is critical for the good alignment of community needs and effective health policy and action. Review and analysis of progress in expanding and strengthening that workforce is here: https://t.co/nl8eOIrCj2
Raising the rate of Newstart is the right thing to do for Australians trying to live on it while looking for employment and for the communities they live in
Hi Everyone. I have now finished my role as @NRHACEO with the @NRHAlliance and will hand the account over to my successor Gabrielle O'Kane.
Please continue to support the NRHA - the voice for the health of 7 million people in rural, regional and remote Australia.@_diamondconsult
Telehealth in all its forms needs state and federal govt support @GregHuntMP @MarkCoultonMP - proof is here. Untap the MBS to enable direct consumer access in primary care - all disciplines. Saves lives! @NRHAlliance#ruralhealth https://t.co/H3FIjWx0YI via @abcnews
Fact: Govt saves over $1.2b per year on the difficulty people in rural Aust have accessing MBS funded services.
@GregHuntMP @MarkCoultonMP please think about directing a fraction of that to untapping the potential of telehealth to address inequity and improve health outcomes.
How encouraging is this? Healthy communities are welcoming and inclusive of all cultures. There is so much potential in rural Australia. Enrichment, growth in all its forms for country towns. @DrJoeMcGirrMP@NRHAlliance#ruralhealth https://t.co/9saEU3oRoY

Well, if there was ever a reason to focus on the applicability of this to ALL health professional disciplines! @GregHuntMP and I know @MarkCoultonMP understands this. @NRHAlliance#ruralhealth
@HelenHaines1 You have done very well @HelenHaines1 and I congratulate you. I will unfortunately not have the pleasure of working with you in my current capacity on your pursuit in improving #ruralhealth. You will have the total support of @NRHAlliance.
