The Remote Health Practice Program (RHPP) has been designed by remote practitioners for remote practitioners in the Australian context, in collaboration between Flinders University and CRANAplus, with ACRRM, SARRAH and NACCHO, to support remote practitioners transition into the discipline and speciality of remote, isolated and Indigenous health and those wanting to develop a career in remote health in Australia and the region.

The program is unique in that it brings together advanced practice and public health with the reality of remote health practice in a multidisciplinary framework. Primary health care, cultural safety and Indigenous health underpin the entire program.
