The Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) congratulates the South Australian Labor Government on its election victory and calls for continued progress to strengthen the Rural Generalist workforce.
ACRRM President Dr Rod Martin says the next term presents an opportunity to expand the Rural Generalist model and improve access to high-quality healthcare across rural, remote and First Nations communities.
“South Australia cannot close its healthcare gaps without a strong, well-distributed Rural Generalist workforce, which is central to delivering highly skilled doctors who can provide comprehensive care in the communities that need them most,” Dr Martin says.
“ACRRM looks forward to working with the Government on practical measures to grow and retain Rural Generalists, including training pathways, targeted incentives and long-term workforce planning.
“Investment in the Rural Generalist pipeline is critical to improving health outcomes and delivering more equitable care outside the urban footprint.”
Dr Martin says South Australia will also have the opportunity to showcase its commitment to rural healthcare when the College and Rural Doctors Association of Australia hosts its annual Rural Medicine Australia conference in Adelaide.
“This conference is the largest rural medical conference in Australia and will bring up to 1,000 doctors and stakeholders to Adelaide,” he says.
“This is a significant opportunity to highlight the strength of the Rural Generalist model and the importance of continued investment in rural, remote, and First Nations healthcare across the state.”
“ACRRM stands ready to work with the South Australian Government to ensure workforce solutions are embedded, sustainable and aligned with community need.”
