Why Go Rural

Relocating to country NSW can offer you advantages and opportunities you may never have considered. For more reasons to ‘Go Rural’, read on.

Working in country NSW may offer opportunities to contribute towards reducing the health gap currently experienced by most Aboriginal communities. Some of the programs you could be involved with include:

  • Maternal and Infant Health
  • Housing for Health
  • Mental Health
  • Drug and Alcohol
  • Oral Health
  • Disability and Chronic Disease

Working collaboratively with Aboriginal communities offers challenges to you as a health professional to apply your skills and expertise in delivering culturally appropriate solutions to complex healthcare issues. Being part of innovative and holistic health programs in country NSW can result in rewarding experiences for you as you contribute to positive outcomes for local communities.
