Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend 2024 | Karijini
Join us in one of Australia’s greatest and most spectacular landscapes – the truly magnificent Karijini National Park.
By day be spellbound by the contrasting Pilbara blue skies against the classic red rock formations, as you wind your way through gorges to undertake emergency medical scenarios. At night, socialise under a canopy of stars with fellow participants and family members.
This opportunity to experience the remote, beautiful, rugged, and incredibly fascinating Karijini National Park is one not to be missed.

Important information:
Due to a change in funding arrangements the structure of the Family Program at the Rural and Remote Retrieval Weekend has changed. All accompanying others will require their own transport in Karijini National Park – this is essential!
If you have an accompanying other that would like to join you please email [email protected] for further information.
The Awards are a highlight of the WA Rural Health Weekend, bringing together finalists, winners, their families, friends, and colleagues for a night of celebration and recognition. It's an opportunity to applaud the remarkable efforts of those who ensure that rural communities receive the high-quality healthcare they deserve.
The WA Rural Health Long Service Awards are run in partnership with the WA Country Health Service, the WA Rural Health Long Service Awards honour the remarkable dedication of general practitioners and medical specialists who have served the rural communities of Western Australia for over 20 years.
This will be an opportunity to connect with health professionals from a variety of disciplines who all play a part in delivering vital healthcare services across rural WA. By bringing together all rural health professionals under one roof we seek to promote connection between these different perspectives, sharing insights and innovations in order to strengthen and enhance healthcare in rural WA.
