This paper investigates rural health professionals’ usage patterns and experiences with a digital support platform, identifying factors associated with usage and the likelihood of recommending it to colleagues.

ACHA has responded to the consultation on the draft Australian Medical Research and Innovation Strategy 2026 to 2031 and Priorities 2026 to 2028. ACHA's response calls for health access, rural and remote research participation, community involvement and research translation to be more clearly reflected in Medical Research Future Fund investment. The recommendations reflect ACHA's role in supporting the generation, translation and application of evidence to improve health access outcomes across under-resourced communities.

This guest editorial traces how attention deficit hyperactivity disorder has come of age in Australia, from consumer advocacy in the 1990s through guideline development, the 2023 Senate Inquiry and current reforms to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder management in general practice.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental condition affecting attention, impulse control and emotional regulation across the lifespan. Although pharmacological treatment is often effective, many patients benefit from additional psychological and lifestyle-based interventions that support daily functioning. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of evidence-based non-pharmacological strategies for ADHD that may assist patients in general practice.

As demand for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treatment increases, Australian governments are relaxing the requirements for general practitioners (GPs) to prescribe Schedule 8 psychostimulants. Depending on state or territory legislation, GPs will likely increase their involvement in the assessment and management of children and adults with ADHD.

This paper provides practical guidance for Australian general practitioners initiating and optimising medication for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, covering when to consider medication, stimulant and non stimulant options, titration and monitoring.

This study examined whether the quality of a short-term rural immersion experience influences medical students’ future engagement with rural health. It evaluated the Bush Bursary, a voluntary scholarship program administered by the Rural Doctors Network that places students in rural NSW communities during university breaks.
