ASoP supports Rural Health Action Plan

ASoP is proud to sign on in support of Dr Joe McGirr's Rural Health Action Plan — a clear, solutions-focused roadmap to improving healthcare access for rural and regional Australians.

The plan calls for stronger local services, a better-supported workforce, and fair access to specialist care. These priorities are especially urgent in mental health, where rural communities face higher need and fewer resources.

By backing this plan, ASoP reaffirms its commitment to improving rural mental healthcare and ensuring that people outside major cities receive the quality psychiatric care they deserve. We look forward to working with partners to help make this vision a reality.
