REGIONAL AUSTRALIA -- SICK OF WAITING FOR FAIR HEALTHCARE

Regional communities generate 80% of Australia's export income—yet they’re left with second-rate healthcare. Regional Australians have a 40% higher disease burden, shorter lifespans, and worse access to medical services than city dwellers. In 2020-21 alone, there was a $6.5 billion shortfall in rural healthcare spending.

it's time for action, Rural people pay their taxes like everyone else, yet they’re treated as second-class citizens when it comes to healthcare.

We need real investment in rural hospitals, mental health services, ambulance funding, and local healthcare workers. No more empty promises—We are sick of being treated like second class citizens.
