About Rural Health West-Supporting country WA-2-icon
Who we are
We are the leading health workforce agency in Western Australia. We work hard behind the scenes to provide a range of support to rural health professionals to keep country people healthy.
We are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and the Government of Western Australia WA Country Health Service to deliver programs designed to attract, recruit and support medical and health professionals to rural Western Australia.
We have been improving access to healthcare services for country communities for over 25 years.

The organisation is administered by an eight member Board of Directors and managed by our Chief Executive Officer, Tim Shackleton. For more information about our Board and Management Team, visit the staff pages on our website.
