Our Story
Our Achievements
Over the years, RDAQ has represented rural communities, rural doctors and health professionals at the policy and local level and has a proud record of achievement.
RDAQ represents Queensland rural doctors: specialist and generalist, public and private, procedural and non-procedural, Australian trained and overseas trained.
RDAQ has developed strong working relationships with the Queensland Government and Opposition across the political divide; within Queensland Health; and with other rural groups and stakeholders. These relationships do not compromise our independence or our ability to comment frankly on issues of concern.
We have been able to achieve significant gains for salaried medical officers in public, community and private settings and self-employed rural practitioners. Critically we act in rural and remote communities interests and continue to address the gap in health outcomes for those living and working in the bush.
