Abstract
To understand the challenges faced by psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees in accessing healthcare. An online survey was distributed to all members (fellows, associates and affiliates) of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) and a number of focus groups were held across Australia and New Zealand. A total of 1051 members responded to the survey and nine focus groups were held. Almost all respondents indicated they had a personal general practitioner. However, there were varying factors affecting access to healthcare and the ability to take leave when unwell. There are numerous barriers facing RANZCP members in looking after their own health. Addressing these barriers will require action at multiple points in the system.
