Viable Models of Rural and Remote Practice

In July 2001 the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing to investigate viable economic and organisational models of rural and remote general practice.

The Project was overseen by a management committee appointed by the RDAA. Monash University School of Rural Health (Bendigo) was contracted to provide academic support and technical assistance throughout the project and coordinate the methodology of the first stage. This report details the findings of the first two stages of the project.
