Why do Australian hospitals and health service organisations need urgent, short and long-term doctors?
Medical doctor shortages are a global problem and Australia has a shortage of qualified medical doctors in hospitals and health service organisations, especially in rural, regional and remote areas. According to The Rural Doctors Association of Australia, there is a shortfall of approximately 1,800 doctors across regional Australia. In addition, Australia’s public hospitals are also under-funded and struggling to meet the community and population demands.
