He visited Bathurst Base Hospital, where a round-table discussion of mental health issues in regional, rural and remote Australia was conducted.
The focus was on optimal approaches to mental health service delivery and facilitating best and most efficient pathways to care.
All sections of the community were involved in the discussion, with the gathering including representatives from the Rural Doctors Network, the National Farmers Federation, the Country Women’s Association, the Royal Flying Doctors Service, the Australian Psychological Society, and the National Rural Health Alliance.
They worked with the National Rural Health Commissioner to generate solutions and pathways to care for people in regional, rural and remote locations.
The Rural Clinic School hoped the event would be the first of an annual series of round-table discussions.
