Making the case for place based governance in rural health workforce recruitment and retention: Lessons from Canada and Australia

Judy Gillespie, Catherine Cosgrave, Christina Malatzky · 2022 · Social Sciences & Humanities Open

Summary. Rural communities worldwide struggle to recruit and retain health workers, creating healthcare access gaps between rural and urban areas. This study examines place-based governance approaches through case studies in Canada and Australia. The authors argue that effective rural health workforce strategies require context-specific benchmarks and cross-national collaboration to understand how place-making strategies can improve recruitment and retention in rural health services.
