Bring doctors to regional Australia by supporting the Murray Darling Medical School

The issue

I am calling on the Treasurer, Health Minister and Education Minister to allocate $50 million over 4 years and allocate 180 medical training places to support a medical school in the Murray Darling region to address chronic doctor shortages. 

The Murray Darling Medical School -  a rurally focused medical school with campuses in Orange, Wagga-Wagga and Bendigo – would train local kids to become local doctors cheaply and more effectively than metropolitan medical schools.
