Abstract
ABSTRACT: To improve the adequacy and appropriateness of education and training of the rural health workforce, Commonwealth and State governments have undertaken several initiatives. Foremost is the establishment of Rural Health Training Units (RHTU) in regional centres across Australia. While the structure and emphases of RHTU vary to meet the specific circumstances of regions, the recent National Association of Rural Health Training Units' Conference agreed with the Australian Health Ministers' Advisory Council's recognition of the need to develop a common set of principles and objectives to guide education and training for rural health workers. A national framework that identifies the role of RHTU within the broader State and Commonwealth context was outlined. This framework formed the basis for recommendations governing the future role of RHTU in achieving national health goals, and the education and training objectives of State and National Plans.
