Outreach Program
While the RDWA is awaiting advice from the Australian Government Department of Health regarding the 2017-2018 Outreach programs, we have commenced planning for the year. As part of this process, the RDWA will invite all current Outreach providers to contribute by sharing information about your experiences in the communities you visit. We will soon be emailing a link to a short survey. Please keep an eye out for it - your input is important.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact Gretchen Scinta at RDWA on 08 8234 8277 or gretchen.scinta@ruraldoc.com.au.
