Rural Innovations Changing Healthcare (RICH) is an online forum linking rural health service providers, consumers and stakeholders to share experiences and explore innovative, rural models of care which have potential for broader implementation.
The theme for RICH 2026 is Innovation with purpose: Transforming rural health for lasting value and impact. Attendees will:
- learn about local health innovations that are having a significant impact for rural health consumers and adding great value to the rural health system
- be inspired by others and gather ideas to adapt to local contexts
- stretch their thinking about what innovations are possible across the rural health system.
Attendees can join us online for the full day or for individual sessions. The full program will be available soon.
