When writing grant applications and budgets, please consider including Croakey Health Media in your plans.
Alison Barrett
Croakey Managing Editor
Croakey not only gives me up to date information on contemporary health issues, but allows me to send my health information across Australia in an instant. It is also the perfect vehicle for starting peoples’ movements, engaging with Indigenous peoples and our issues, and building a community that has at its basis a desire to make positive change happen. It is polite and political, informative and inspiring. Active engagement is what Croakey does – and I like it!
Professor Kerry Arabena
Public health leader
It’s always a delight to see the diversity of issues on Croakey, particularly in health policy and social justice, that you just don’t see anywhere else.  It’s also great to see the diversity of voices on Croakey, particularly Indigenous Australians and those coming in via social media.

Croakey Health Media was the official media partner for VicHealth’s Life and Health Reimagined series (2020). Croakey’s indepth coverage of the five-week series amplified the conversation about how we can make life after coronavirus better and healthier for everyone.
Croakey’s coverage included compelling articles about each week’s topic and wrap-ups of the live-streamed events, live tweeting, a Twitter takeover of the @WePublicHealth account and a podcast summarising the series.
Having Croakey as our media partner enabled us to reach a more diverse public health audience and introduced new voices and experts to the discussion. Croakey’s team also generated a lively dialogue on social media about the series, driving debate and frank discussion on the important topic of how do we create a healthier, fairer, better world post-pandemic.
I would highly recommend Croakey Conference News Service to anyone seeking an innovative and collaborative media partner for a conference or event.

Croakey Health Media has been a valuable partner of the Global Health program at the School of Public Health, University of Sydney, for the last few years. I greatly appreciate Croakey’s contribution to our educational program and the efforts to inspire and engage youth to improve health systems.
With Dr Melissa Sweet’s outstanding supervision, our students have contributed to various media projects on the pressing issues facing Australian society, such as the climate and health dialogue before the 2022 Federal Election, and climate and housing issues for people with mental health. I can see that addressing health inequity is a clear focus of Croakey’s.
The coverage of Indigenous voices in climate and health conversations at Croakey is notably much stronger than the other mainstream media. I would be more hopeful of achieving a sustainable health future for all if we had more health media like Croakey.

Croakey is, and always has been a source of timely, topical, well-researched and analysed information and is my go-to for concise reporting about the things I am interested in, delivered in plain language. I like the collaborative model Croakey uses and, in my opinion, journalists writing for Croakey come from a very informed, experiential place. I depend on Croakey articles especially at peak times like budget hand-downs, and delivery of important government reports – for example, Close the Gap – to give me a balanced and factual overview, as well as Croakey’s campaign work, especially their justice advocacy and in-depth work on ‘deaths in custody’, and the #JustJustice series. I trust information provided by Croakey, it is a barometer of good journalism.

Croakey  – it’s a constant in my life. It’s my first ‘go to’ place on the web. It changed how I viewed news. It took expressing an opinion to a new level. I love the way Croakey pulls out something new or puts a different twist on an old idea. The diversity of authors and timeliness of posts are very much appreciated. Bring me more of this!

Croakey once again delivered, providing professional, polished content for our 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting. Thank you.

Croakey is terrific. Thought provoking, well researched information….and easy to read.  A great combination.

Croakey has pioneered an unprecedented role in providing an open forum for the revelation and exchange of thinking on health in Australia. Thanks to the indefatigable Croakey team, we have a place where players from all corners of health can share ideas, news and commentary.
