Conference hosts
Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM)
The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) for setting professional medical standards for training, assessment, certification and continuing professional development in the specialty of general practice.
As the only College in Australia dedicated to rural and remote medicine, ACRRM plays an important role in supporting junior doctors and medical students considering a career in rural medicine.
The College is committed to delivering sustainable, high-quality health services to rural and remote communities by providing quality education programs, innovative support, and strong representation for doctors who serve those communities.
Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA)
The Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) is the only member body that backs rural doctors 100%.
Unapologetically rural, the organisation has no other member cohort to dilute its interest. RDAA goes to bat for rural doctors on any issue, represents them on every panel, provides expert advice from a rural perspective on government and regulatory policies, and works its hardest to build rural medicine into a career of choice. The Association is proud not to just offer up the issues but provides Government and policymakers with real solution ideas.
