Rural and Remote Mental Health in Australia - Innovation and Opportunity

Mental health services in rural and remote Australia have unique challenges compared to metropolitan centres due to distance, remoteness and isolation. These challenges can create barriers to the effective provision of services. However they also provide the opportunity for the application of innovative approaches and technological advances.

The 7th Australian Rural and Remote Mental Health Symposium will be held from the 26th to the 28th of October 2015 at the Novotel Forest Resort Creswick, VIC. Creswick is 75 minutes’ drive from Melbourne or 70 minutes from Tullamarine Airport.

The Symposium will include keynote presentations, panel presentations and concurrent sessions. The delegate dinner will take place on the 27th October, complimentary coach transfers to and from Creswick and the Tullamarine are available for full delegates.
