The Alliance's newsletter, Partyline, is a means of exchanging information between those with an interest in rural health, including friends of the Alliance, health consumers, health professionals, students and policy makers. Contributors report on their personal rural experiences, on programs with which they have been involved, provide information on new initiatives and resources, and it is a vehicle for opinions on rural health issues and events.

Partyline is distributed free of charge and welcomes contributions with rural health themes, including: articles, photographs, poems, book reviews, letters to the editor and news items. Partyline has a print circulation around Australia of 13,000 and is also available on-line below.

Latest Issue: Number 39, June 2010

Partyline Number 39 is a bumper 48-page issue featuring articles on health reform, oral health services In rural and remote areas, and a health impact assessment of the Northern Territory Emergency Response. There are also articles on the National Rural Health Students’ network, prostate cancer, chiropractic services and the distinction between ‘primary care’ and ‘primary health care’. Issue 39 was produced in conjunction with the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) which contributes articles on workforce retention in rural and remote health services, and the translation of health research into policy and practice. Reflecting the importance of the social and economic determinants of health, there are articles on community development in regional areas and the new strategic framework being developed for rural and remote health. Janet Fletcher, a friend of the Alliance from Janbar Springs in the Northern Territory, has set a wonderful example for other contributors by providing both the cover photograph and the poem published on the back page.
