No one should be disadvantaged by their postcode when it comes to accessing quality healthcare. Our communities are facing critical challenges, including long wait times, a shortage of GPs and specialists, and limited training opportunities for future healthcare professionals. We need to attract and retain medical staff, create more training places for registrars, and ensure that people in regional areas have the same access to timely and quality care as those in the cities. It's time for a government that puts rural healthcare first, with targeted solutions that support our local workforce and ensure no one is left behind.
