"Everyone cares a lot about the doctor that they have in a country town. In the country you’ve got to work together. It’s definitely not a solo job, it’s all together as a team."

Dr Sam Patterson, Rural Generalist, WA

"General practice is such a flexible career, and it gives you a broad range of skills which you can use anywhere around the world."

Dr Ishani Kaluthotage, rural GP, SA

"It’s really much more than the medicine. The medicine is just a small part of the experience - it’s a means of connecting."

Dr Jav Badyari, rural GP, NT & NSW
