@RuralHC_Aus @NRHAlliance Singing our song, @RuralHC_Aus! We need a comprehensive MULTIDISCIPLINARY rural workforce strategy to address the poor health outcomes experienced by rural and remote Australians.

Well said @RosalieBoyce

Doctors don't want to work regional/rural w/out full complement of health professionals supporting them - why don't rural people deserve Allied health services u get in cities? No #alliedhealth = no Rehab, no paediatric early intervention etc etc etc = worse outcomes #TheDrum

[Robyn Adams @robynadams54]

#alliedhealth #ruralgeneralists #ahrg develop and maintain a broad base of clinical and non clinical skills to meet the needs of rural communities ... establishing more #ahrg training positions would be a good step @ABCthedrum @RuralHC_Aus @maloney_cath

The Allied Health Rural Generalist Pathway aims to give early career AHPs a positive rural clinical experience and supportive career pathway #TheDrum #expofcare @SARRAHealth @robynadams54

Rural workforce shortages are more severe for the allied health professions than medicine and nursing. #TheDrum #expofcare @SARRAHealth

[Cath Maloney @maloney_cath]

Access to allied health services is critical to appropriate chronic care, but funding mechanisms like MBS are insufficient to address chronic health conditions. #TheDrum #expofcare @SARRAHealth

[Cath Maloney @maloney_cath]

The greatest jobs growth for regional Australia is in Health and Social Services. New approaches are needed to address climate change while supporting economic growth in regional Australia. #QandA

[Cath Maloney @maloney_cath]

A huge thank you to @MarkCoultonMP @RuralHC_Aus and Dr Anne-marie Boxall for their thoughts on the future for Rural allied health. #AHPS central to resilient rural communities #ruralhealth @SARRAHealth

This illustrates the longer term impacts of COVID-19, and why AHPs are an important part of the response strategy. @SARRAhealth

[Victor Tseng @VectorSting]

As our friends and colleagues brave the font lines, we must also get ready for a series of aftershocks. It's very hard to plan this far ahead while we're in survival mode. We must prepare early and strategize our response to the collateral damage of #COVID19

[Cath Maloney @maloney_cath]

It was good to host a visit from the National Rural Health Commissioner yesterday. #AHP #ruralhealth

[Paul Worley @PaulWorleySA]

With the innovative team at ⁦@SARRAHealth⁩ and ⁦@CRANAplus⁩ - we need more supportive business models and support for rural and remote clinicians.

[Cath Maloney @maloney_cath]

Allied Health services will be in high demand during the recovery phase of the bushfire disaster. Rural generalism for all health disciplines is good news for growing the rural health workforce to support rural communities.
