FOR HEALTH PRACTITIONERS…
The Rural Health Education Foundation is Australia’s pre-eminent provider of television-based health education for doctors, pharmacists, nurses and allied health professionals.

Our Vision is for better health for people in remote and rural Australia.
Our Mission is to produce quality, accessible health education to remote and rural health teams.
We produce and deliver topical, high quality, evidence-based educational programs enriched by the voluntary participation of Australia’s best health and medical experts.
We shrink the vast distances of remote and rural Australia with a national satellite broadcast network, the Internet and other distribution technologies.
We help remote and rural health professionals keep their skills up to date without having to leave their families, their clients, and the communities who rely on them.
Since 1992 the Foundation has produced hundreds of programs covering a wide spectrum of health education issues - all designed specifically for rural and remote health practitioners. Most programs are conducted in a panel discussion style with expert participants and featuring clinical examples. Many programs are presented live and allow for viewer participation and interaction. The Foundation also produces pre-recorded documentary-style programs.
The Foundation broadcasts the programs across our own satellite network of more than 670 sites, as well as other television services. See our broadcast timetable for details.
All programs are accredited and are available online to view or to listen on this website, or to order on DVD.
Our program database is fully searchable and provides links to many other online health resources.
