October 21, 2008The Rural Health Education Foundation is now actively seeking additional partners to help grow its educational services to Australia’s rural and remote health professionals in 2009 and beyond.

Join more than twenty current supporters
New partners will join a list of highly regarded existing supporters, including: the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, Merck Sharp & Dohme Australia; the Rural Doctors Association of Australia, Royal College of Nursing and Pharmaceutical Society of Australia; and program-specific supporters such as the National Asthma Council, Perpetual, beyondblue: the national depression initiative, the National Stroke Foundation and the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health.
“As we approach the end of another successful year of health-related education program development and distribution, we’re keen to open a dialogue with potential new partners,” says Foundation Acting CEO Ms Amanda Little. “The Foundation benefits greatly from the resources provided by its existing partners, and additional supporters are vital to the expansion and maintenance of our education services.”
Help strengthen a non-profit lifeline to the bush
Established in 1992, the Rural Health Education Foundation provides independent, accredited education services to general practitioners and other health professionals working in rural and remote Australia. The Foundation broadcasts distance education programs using digital satellite technology, the Internet and distributed DVDs. These programs are invaluable to doctors, pharmacists, nurses, administrators and other health professionals in the bush.
