Compares the health of people living in rural and remote areas with that of people living in metropolitan areas across Australia. The report shows that people living in rural and remote areas have many health disadvantages their urban counterparts do not experience, including: shortages of health care providers and services in some areas, difficulties in accessing health care and greater exposure to injury.

Authored by Strong K, Trickett P, Titulaer I & Bhatia K.
