Approximately 30 % of Australians live in rural and remote areas and experience health disadvantages

Rural health settings deliver services with certain challenges and limitations due to distance from larger cities


Globally, rural health services find it harder to attract and retain a health workforce
We need a new approach but it is difficult for smaller rural services to innovate and find solutions to problems


It is the rural and remote people themselves who are best placed to understand the issues and to generate and manage solutions

Lessons for Leaders
The constraints and limitations found in rural health settings can be a driver for innovation
Innovation in rural settings can be unleashed by supporting teams and individuals with ideas, energy, creativity and ways of working that enable change
Modeling creative thinking and providing small amounts of space, time and encouragement for innovators
Empowering teams to make ‘safe’ changes without permissions
Focusing learning around an overall strategy for innovation, improvement and patient-centred approaches
Measuring how new ideas work and learning from failed attempts at innovation
Embedding and reinforcing organisational cultures that reflect that creativity, team work and the ideas of individuals are valued
