At Macintyre Health, we are inspired by those who choose to live in Rural Queensland - the resilience, tenacity and sense of community that is inherent here. We are also inspired by the technology and innovation that has revolutionised Diabetes Management and how easily people are now able to live their day-to-day lives. Today we live at a moment where the majority of people have access to the internet or mobile phones - the raw tools necessary to engage in possibilities such as Telehealth, Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous/Flash Glucose Monitoring (among others). Macintyre Health also recognises that personal relationships are fundamental to successful Chronic Disease Management and Integration of Care. Often, we find, that someone will care more about their own management when they become aware, and believe, that we deeply do as well. At Macintyre Health, we provide education tailored to each person's needs - both clinical and personal. There is no stock-standard way to manage every person with Diabetes, and a tailored approach is key to success. When you become a patient of Macintyre Health, you will know that you have a partner, an ally, someone who will respect your wishes without judgement. Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small - and it starts in Goondiwindi.

Kate Dunn (Head of Rural and Remote) and Kate Mundy (Credentialled Diabetes Educator based in Toowoomba) work alongside and care for people in rural and regional communities every day. They've seen it all on the ground; the distance, the waiting and the extra mile (or km!) it takes just to get care.
They’ve spent years listening to people’s stories. Now, they’re adding their own voices, and encouraging you to add yours.
If you live rural or regional, what you’ve experienced matters. Your stories don’t disappear: they’re what shape what comes next.
⏰ Today is the last day to have your say in the Rural Health Inquiry survey.
It takes less than 5 minutes, and there’s a free recipe eBook at the end to say thanks.
🗓️ Today is the last day to complete the Rural Health Inquiry Survey. If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time.
We want to understand what healthcare really looks like if you live rural or regional. The travel, the wait times, the costs, the work it takes just to get seen.
Your lived experience is powerful. And it’s the only thing that will lead to change that actually works for bush communities.
It will take you less than 5 minutes and as a thank you, you’ll receive our free recipe eBook at the end!
Please, make your voice heard before the survey closes - fill it out here: https://buff.ly/mXg48PH

đź“Ť Meet Daniel, from Cootharaba, QLD.
His story reflects the reality many people in rural and regional communities are living every day.
Daniel speaks candidly about the difficulty of finding a GP, the rising out-of-pocket costs that come with accessing care, and the ongoing burden of what’s often called the “tyranny of distance.” When healthcare is hours away, every appointment takes more time, more money and more energy. For many, it means going without care altogether.
These aren’t isolated experiences. They’re systemic challenges, and they deserve to be heard.
This is where your voice really matters.
If you live in a rural or regional area (or care for someone who does) please take a few minutes to share your experience by filling out the Rural Health Inquiry survey here: https://buff.ly/YoLRlCo

Right now, we’re collecting real experiences to put directly in front of decision-makers, including the national Senate Inquiry into Medicare access in rural Australia.
Days on the road for specialist care.
Different doctors every visit.
Making do when there’s no other option.
If this is your reality on the ground, NOW is the moment to speak up.
Your voice matters. Without it, nothing changes.

Josh has spent his days on the road, in clinics and communities, seeing firsthand what it's like out there.
Long waits. Hard-to-get appointments. Big travel time. Seeing a different face every visit.
This isn’t a future problem. It’s the everyday reality for people living bush, regional and remote.
That’s why we’re collecting real stories. These experiences will be shared directly with decision-makers through the national Senate Inquiry into Medicare access in rural Australia, so the reality on the ground can’t be ignored.
Because healthcare shouldn’t depend on luck, who you know or your postcode.
If this sounds like your experience, now’s the time to speak up.

An important message from our founder, Laura Zimmerman, if you live rural or remote.
Your experience of accessing healthcare matters.
Right now, decisions are being made about Medicare, and the people shaping policy need to hear from those living the reality.
If this is your experience, please take a few minutes to share your story.
The survey is short (five questions, five minutes) but the impact could be much bigger than that.
Your voice belongs at the decision-making table.
Please have your say: https://buff.ly/U60n6y0

Wait times stretch into months.
Care means long travel.
And continuity is slipping away.
This is the reality of rural, regional and remote healthcare. Yet reforms keep rolling out without asking: will this work rurally?
Here's your chance to speak up and share your real, lived experience.
If you live rurally, you know healthcare often means extra travel, extra time, and a bit of juggling.
Macintyre Health is collecting real-life experiences from rural, remote and regional communities through a short survey. It’s a chance to share what accessing care is actually like where you live: what’s hard, what helps, and what makes a difference.
These stories will be shared with the Senate as part of the Medicare Inquiry, so decision-makers can hear directly from the people living it. All submissions will be de-identified and your privacy upheld.
If you’ve waited too long, driven too far, or watched services disappear, your story matters in this Medicare reform.
💉 Wegovy is coming to the PBS, but let’s clear up the confusion for our community.
This is not a blanket change, and it doesn’t affect PBS access to Ozempic for type 2 diabetes.
Wegovy’s PBS listing is for a very specific group, not diabetes alone.
Ozempic remains PBS-subsidised for people with type 2 diabetes. Nothing has changed there.
Read through for the facts, the eligibility, and what this means for you beyond the headlines.
