Healthcare in rural, regional and remote NSW

The main aim of this report is to capture the challenges to rural healthcare posed by geography and isolation. It describes the diversity and responsiveness that are hallmarks of healthcare in NSW and compares performance across the rural–urban continuum, identifying areas of achievement and highlighting areas for potential improvement.

Low population density, long travelling times, difficulties recruiting a skilled workforce and an ageing population are just some of challenges assessed in rural, regional and remote NSW.
