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 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.
Mark Metherell
Health journalist
Croakey provides a rare platform to explore public health issues from a range of perspectives. Melissa and Marie have supported #cripcroakey, a series of articles about disability and health, at a time of profound change in disability policy that needs scrutiny and analysis. Croakey’s backing of writers from diverse backgrounds is a fantastic addition to Australian media.

Croakey gives us our daily dose of independent thinking, discussion and debate on all things public health. The broad mix of contributors, topics and prolific tweets combine to make it a valuable and lively source of news and food for thought for all Australians.

Croakey is health media rather than medical media. You should be reading it every day if you’re interested in health services or population health.
Ben Harris-Roxas
Public health leader
If news doesnât make you squirm itâs simply propaganda. Croakeyâs unique blend of activism, humour and plain good reporting makes it an essential – if not always comfortable – read!
Professor Virginia Barbour
Croakey –Â like a sore throat spreading amongst friends – helps to spread healthy ideas rapidly through the blog and the Twittersphere. Â Thank you Croakey.

We love Croakey! The team here at the ircohe.net use Croakey to show our students what great public health contribution expert media effort can make to the world.  True, we contribute stories, but more importantly, we love the difference Croakey makes to the health conversation in Australia.

Croakey has been a platform which has encouraged Aboriginal voice and actively sought it out. I started out as a reader, then followed on Twitter, was a guest tweeter on @WePublic health, and have become a contributor. The more I got involved, the more I realised what an unique platform Croakey is, because of the way it challenges mainstream media.

Researchers and research organisations can increase their real- world impact by engaging with public debate and public interest organisations like Croakey Health Media. Being involved with Croakey has helped me become a better writer and communicator, with benefits for my research and students.
