Rural women care for our land and communities. Their health matters too. On International Day of Rural Women we call for local healthcare & flexible rosters & childcare to help female rural doctors stay in practice. 👉 bit.ly/4esQAcf #RuralHealth #WomenInMedicine

It’s time for rural Australians to talk about dementia. If you have noticed changes in memory, thinking or behaviour, in yourself or someone close, talk to a person you trust & make an appointment with your GP. 🔗 bit.ly/4yUVmYa #DementiaActionWeek #ItsTimeToTalk
