Advancing Mental Health Care for Rural & Remote Communities

Living and working in rural Australia can be a rich and rewarding way of life. However, factors such as geographic location, social isolation, and limited facilities can make it difficult for many to receive adequate mental health care.

Unite with a community committed to advancing rural & remote mental health care.

When rural and remote mental health services are needed, they are often few and far between.

DID YOU KNOW?

  • The rate of suicide in rural and regional areas is about 40& higher than capital cities.

  • 91% of psychiatrists have their main practice in a major city.

  • People in cities receive around 30% more mental health services than those in rural and remote areas.

This year’s symposium theme is Weathering the Storm: Reflecting On 2020 & Planning for What’s Next.

By sharing insight from research studies, industry practice and real-life experiences, we hope to improve the way we plan for, prepare, and provide mental health treatment to Australian’s living and working in rural and remote areas.

Gain practical solutions to improve mental health services in Australia’s rural and remote areas at the Australian Rural & Remote Mental Health Symposium.
