Senator Jacinta Collins interjecting— Senator Kim Carr interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cameron! Senator Collins and Senator Carr! There a lot of noise on my left at the moment. Senator McKENZIE: To support the development of rural health policy, 19 peak bodies represent the rural health workforce, including doctors, Indigenous health organisations, nurses and allied health professionals. The roundtable provides a valuable opportunity for the government and stakeholders to collaborate and discuss ways to improve the delivery of services and better target programs. Last Friday's discussion focused on the rural generalist pathway, Indigenous workforce issues and examining health workforce data. Finding solutions to some of the barriers faced by regional communities is our priority.
