A survey by the National Australian Pharmacy Students' Association's (NAPSA's) Rural and Indigenous Affairs Committee (RIAC) found that almost half the students wanted to complete their internship in a nonmetropolitan area. In addition, about 80% of the respondents stated they had considered practising in a regional, rural or remote area at a later stage in their career. Students who were unwilling to pursue rural internships and employment cited financial barriers as the main reason for their refusal.
