National Press Club of Australia Address

FIXING RURAL AND REMOTE HEALTH
Tuesday, 22 November 2016.

Three prominent experts outlined key reform priorities in rural and remote health in an Address at the National Press Club of Australia.

These priorities include the need for greater fairness for the seven million Australians who live outside metropolitan areas, and the potential for increased productivity and economic growth if the disparities in health outcomes between rural and remote residents, and city residents, can be closed.

Past Seminars

The National Rural Health Alliance holds public seminars, sometimes in conjunction with the face-to-face meeting of its Council, and sometimes in collaboration with other organisations. The general purpose of these is to inform people about important issues that affect the health of people in rural and remote Australia and to provide a networking opportunity for those interested in the special topics selected. These seminars or policy forums also provide the opportunity for people to meet in person with members of the Alliance’s Council and staff.

Proceedings of these seminars can be found below. You will find presentations, transcripts, biographies, photographs and audio files where available.
