Croakey has served splendidly as an independent voice in the health policy arena. It provided a forum for people with ideas and passion about health, especially from a social perspective and policy position, but always with humane concern can find a home. We wish the re-platformed Croakey every success.
Emeritus Professor Stephen Leeder

A great service that provided value and benefits for the Australian Health Promotion Association as an Association and the health promotion workforce more broadly.

Executive Officer, Australian Health Promotion Association
Croakey Health Media is an outstanding service and team. They covered our 2023 Planetary Health Equity Hothouse Policy Symposium, generating incredible communication about complex issues in easily digestible ways and with massive reach. We are incredibly lucky to have Croakey Health Media – access to reliable, quality public interest journalism is vital for democracy. I would highly recommend this service and team.

Director, Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, ANU – #HothouseSymposium (2023)
Croakey is now well established as compulsory reading for influencers and observers in health and medicine in Australia and internationally – and rightly so. As a blog, it gives voice to people who support or oppose government health and social policy. It allows people to express their views and opinions openly, passionately, and freely – from all perspectives. More importantly, Croakey provides a forum for new ideas and new thinking – based on experiences at the frontline of health service delivery – which we can only hope find their way into future health policy to provide better health services to the Australian community.

Mainstream media usually only has the space and time to cover urgent health issues. Croakey has the space, time and expertise to cover the important issues which shape the health environment and our health system, and determine our health experience.

If you care about a public health issue, or want others to care, get it online and get it on Croakey.

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

Croakey is an important part of the health landscape providing progressive, current and incisive commentary.

Croakey is one of the few places where public health “activists” can vent their spleen. (I’m not sure why we’re called ‘activists’, but we certainly need a place to ‘vent’.) It’s also a useful place for journalists/media to find contacts who can speak intelligently on public health issues.
