Rural health is rewarding, challenging and life changing.
It can take you to places you’ve never dreamed of and to communities that really need you. We’ve set up this site so you can hear direct from people with a passion for rural health … our Rural Health Champions.
Our champions include experienced rural doctors and aspiring students in each state and the Northern Territory. Through this site, they provide first-hand accounts of their personal and professional experiences living and working in rural Australia.
We hope their words will encourage others to follow in their footsteps and make a life changing difference to rural and remote communities.
In fact, there has never been a better time to consider a career in rural health. The Department of Health and Ageing provides a number of incentives to help doctors relocate to and remain in rural and remote Australia. These incentives include relocation grants, locum support, higher education reimbursement assistance and a discount in the 10 year moratorium for overseas trained doctors, scaled according to remoteness of region.
To find out more about the incentives offered by the Department of Health and Ageing, go to www.doctorconnect.gov.au See what rural doctors and students have to say on youtube
