In regional Australia, especially in rural and remote communities, disparities in access to healthcare lead to health challenges and health inequity. 

During my undergraduate degree, I was fortunate enough to complete a number of regional placements across Victoria, including in Wangaratta, Shepparton, Ballarat and Bendigo. 

Working alongside dedicated local teams, sharing accommodation with fellow students and becoming part of the fabric of each town enriched both my practice and my understanding of what healthcare means to regional Australians.

Many businesses are more vulnerable to cyber risk than they realise. 

While around 40 to 60 per cent of new physiotherapy graduates gain employment in private practice, only a small proportion of them receive private practice placements before they graduate.

I am excited to be developing the APA’s next strategic plan so early in my tenure. In my view, strategic development is as much about the process as it is about the outcome.

The APA 2023 Workforce Census found that the top drivers of job satisfaction include making a positive impact (98 per cent), receiving recognition (92 per cent) and financial security (96 per cent).
