flag Rural Australians face severe healthcare disparities, with less funding and access compared to city residents.

flag Rural Australians face significant healthcare disparities, with over 18,000 lacking primary care within an hour's drive. flag They receive nearly A$850 less in healthcare funding annually than city dwellers, leading to higher rates of preventable hospitalizations and avoidable deaths. flag The life expectancy gap between remote areas and major cities is up to 16 years. flag Clinicians often accept lower standards of care in rural areas, viewing it as better than none. flag Virtual healthcare could help, but must be well-designed and properly staffed to avoid worsening outcomes. flag Tailored solutions to improve access and quality are needed.
