THE Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) recently held meetings in Canberra and said it was pleased with the support shown by senior federal ministers, shadow ministers and policy makers on the need for reforms to build the rural health system and rural medical workforce.

Centred around RDAA’s annual Politicians Forum held last week in Canberra, RDAA president Dr Megan Belot and chief executive Peta Rutherford met with ministers, shadow ministers and other politicians to discuss key priorities and concerns for the sector.
