Abstract
ABSTRACT: The National Rural Health Unit is Australia's peak body for rural and remote area health research. It has been established as a national network by a consortium led by the Monash University Centre for Rural Health in Moe, Victoria. During the consultation and planning phase, the Unit has sought input from interested individuals and organisations through a questionnaire survey and a national consultation and planning workshop. Priority issues identified by the survey were: rural health service policy and delivery; rural health workforce recruitment and retention: rural health workforce continuing education and professional development and Aboriginal health. The workshop brought together key opinion leaders with broad representation of the various health disciplines, geographic locations, health authorities, professional organisations and rural health research centres. From the workshop emerged recommendations for five‐year and one‐year goals of the Unit.
