What would happen to rural communities without our doctors and nurses?
Your gift could change the health of a rural community
Everyone deserves a healthy life –
no matter where they live
There is something special about living in rural and remote communities. The wide-open spaces and red dirt. Or acres of lush green forest. Millions of stars dotting the sky at night will take your breath away. But it’s more than just the landscape. The people are pretty special too. And our purpose is to look after them and keep them healthy.
“Rural medicine is a special opportunity to work in an advanced scope of practice and provide whole-of-life care across a whole community and multiple generations.”
Dr Michael Rice – Director
