Who we are

30 years of commitment to quality healthcare for Western Australians

Rural Health West believes that everyone, everywhere is entitled to good health and access to quality healthcare. For more than 30 years, we’ve worked hard to improve access to healthcare in our rural communities by delivering programs to attract, recruit and support health professionals to regional, rural and remote Western Australia.

We offer a range of programs throughout Western Australia to attract and support rural and remote health professionals including doctors, nurses, midwives, dentists and allied health professionals.

About Rural Health West

Support for local government

Working with shires and local councils across Western Australia

Rural Health West works closely with shires and local councils across Western Australia to help attract and retain the health professionals their communities depend on.

When a community’s needs are more complex, we work with relevant Local Government Authorities to find innovative, localised solutions to health workforce challenges.
