Aaaaannnddd - you also get membership of RDAA!
When you join RDAT, a portion of your membership fee goes to our national body,
RDAA. These funds allow RDAA to represent rural doctors at a national
level, which is hugely important as all Medicare legislation is governed
by the Commonwealth along with the majority of workforce distribution
policies and programs.
RDAA does this by:
- Working closely with the Commonwealth and State governments to help
develop policies and programs that will succeed in rural areas
- Promoting rural medical careers to junior doctors (#DestinationRural)
- Providing professional support for rural doctors
- Working to develop improved financial incentives for rural doctors
- Promoting strategies that will build a sustainable rural medical
workforce
