Rural Doctors Foundation brings confidential and independent healthcare services directly to select rural communities, making it easier for local health practitioners to access the care they need. 

 

This service is exclusively available to doctors, nurses, allied health professionals  who live and work in the local area. By supporting the health and wellbeing of the rural health workforce, we help keep vital healthcare services available for the communities that depend on them.

 It is delivered by Treating GPs experienced in doctor to doctor care and who understand what it means to be a health practitioner in rural and remote communities.

UPCOMING CLINICS

Telehealth appointments

Continuity of care is a critical part of looking after yourself. While face-to-face clinics provide the opportunity to establish and maintain a relationship with your Treating GP, telehealth appointments ensure ongoing access to care between community visits. Having continuity with the same GP means your doctor understands your health history, circumstances and ongoing needs, allowing for more consistent, personalised and effective healthcare. Our service model combines in-person consultations with telehealth support to help rural health practitioners access timely care without needing to leave their community.
