While health problems continue to plague Indigenous communities, there is an organisation trying to help turn this problem around. The Rural Health Education Foundation provides health professionals with an opportunity to undertake continuing education, without having to leave their local communities. The Foundation, uses satellite and Internet technology to broadcast distance education programs, allowing doctors, pharmacists, nurses, administrators and other health workers to keep in touch with the latest medical advances around Australia. Director of Education and Deputy CEO, Amanda Little is one of the people behind the organisation, providing rural community health workers with an invaluable service.
