Our collective efforts remain focused on our vision: "Healthy rural, remote and First Nations communities through excellence, social accountability, and innovation". This vision is the foundation on which we have built our new Strategic Plan, and it provides a clear direction forward as we continue to strengthen our role as a leading voice in Rural Generalist Medicine.

We are working in a transformative period. With ACRRM now delivering training to almost all registrars on our Fellowship program, despite their funding pathway, our utmost priority continues to be providing excellent support...

ACRRM started as a needed disruptor to a rural sector on its knees. Fast forward a quarter of a century ad it has emerged as an Australian Medical College like no other in the world …

Life as a Rural Generalist has been tough for the last 18 months, and I'm pretty sure its about to get a bit tougher. Closed borders and sudden lock downs have shut down FIFO and locum services, and many College members are in desperate need of a break.

It’s been a year of ‘unprecedenteds’ and I want to acknowledge the work that our members are doing and the distress that the year has continued to bring to so many of us and our communities.

It’s been a turbulent 12 months for rural Australia. We have shared with our communities in the trauma of droughts, floods and fires and these events have been coupled with our own struggles to maintain local health personnel and resources, particularly hospital services and birthing units.

The ACRRM-Commonwealth Government Compact signing, recognised our national leadership in the work to improve health services for our rural, remote and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. It signaled the Government’s commitment to working with us to attain our key goals.
