RWAV COVID19 Survey

We are living through extraordinary times. In a year that saw country Victorians face devastating bush-fires and the long-term effects of drought, we are now coping with the effects of COVID19. This has placed extra pressure on health care in country Victoria.

How can we help? RWAV would like to provide more support where needed to rural and remote health services. You are the best placed to understand the health care needs of your own communities. The RWAV Board would like to hear from you about what your health workforce needs are now.
