Rural Doctors Association of Queensland - RDAQ

RDAQ is the only State medical organisation which has an exclusively rural focus. Our Achievements
Over the years, RDAQ has a proud record of achievement.

The Rural Doctors Association of Queensland (RDAQ) was formed in 1989 to support rural doctors, their families, and the communities in which they live and work. RDAQ represents the breadth of Queensland rural doctors: specialist and generalist, public and private, procedural and non-procedural, Australian trained and overseas trained. RDAQ has developed strong working relationships with the State Government and Opposition ; within Queensland Health; and with other rurally-based groups and stakeholders.

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐃𝐀𝐐 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬! No one knows your community quite like you! It’s your last chance to share your perspective in Health Workforce Queensland’s annual Health Workforce Needs Assessment survey.

The assessment is open to those providing primary care services in MM2–7 and those employed by a general practice in MM 1 with DPA status.

HWQ uses this information to identify priority locations, better prioritise HWQ resources, and help inform outcomes to government for program planning and policy development.

The Patient Travel Subsidy Scheme (PTSS) recorded a $54 million surplus over the last five years. Instead of being reinvested into the subsidy to help those who need it most, that money was redirected back into hospital budgets.
It makes you wonder...
Why hasn't the Government increased subsidy rates? Why are patients told to reschedule vital appointments because the scheme won't cover the only flights available? Why is travel support for escorts being denied to patients who shouldn't be traveling alone?
That’s over $10 million a year "saved" through restrictive decisions—money that stays with the hospitals rather than supporting the patients the scheme was designed for.
It is not right. The funding is there to make patient travel affordable, and these changes can and should be implemented immediately.
Please take a moment to sign and share this petition to demand fair travel support for our rural communities.

Our Story

Our Achievements Over the years, RDAQ has represented rural communities, rural doctors and health professionals at the policy and local level and has a proud record of achievement.

RDAQ represents Queensland rural doctors: specialist and generalist, public and private, procedural and non-procedural, Australian trained and overseas trained. RDAQ has developed strong working relationships with the Queensland Government and Opposition across the political divide; within Queensland Health; and with other rural groups and stakeholders. These relationships do not compromise our independence or our ability to comment frankly on issues of concern. We have been able to achieve significant gains for salaried medical officers in public, community and private settings and self-employed rural practitioners. Critically we act in rural and remote communities interests and continue to address the gap in health outcomes for those living and working in the bush.
