National Rural Health Conferences

The National Rural Health Conference is the largest regular public event on the agenda of those interested in improving health and wellbeing in rural and remote Australia. The biennial Conference is the NRHA’s biggest project, it is a key element of its core business and sets much of the agenda for the Alliance’s work for each two-year period. It has become a key part of the agenda-forming process for the rural and remote health sector as a whole. Below is a list of past National Rural Health Conferences and a link to their proceedings.
