The rural communities in Australia are desperate for medical staff in all areas.

“The RDA estimates at least 16,000 more health professionals are urgently needed in the bush - 1,000 additional doctors, 5,400 additional nurses, 600 additional midwives, 1,000 additional Aboriginal Health Workers, 1,700 dentists and over 6,100 additional allied health professionals.

At present people living in regional and remote areas wait as long as six weeks or more for a standard medical consultation, and also have a life expectancy three years less than their city counterparts.” News-Medical.Net 20 Feb 2008

With the extreme shortages in rural areas health professionals can be offered a job and visa on the spot at one of our Opportunites Australia Expos.
