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.

Loved the program. Love the Croakey news service – think it really gives the conference a bigger audience!
Great event and extensive social media coverage

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

Croakey is a valuable voice in the health space, providing a respected and wide ranging platform for health experts and professionals to debate this crucial area of public policy.
Catherine King
Federal Government Minister
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
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.
Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM
Public health nutrition "activist"
Croakey is the platform where health issues are dissected from every angle – from the complex impact on health arising from social, economic and environmental policies, to the influence of vested interests on public health, and insightful analysis of health care policies. It is a place where I can read the viewpoints of those who don’t often get heard in the mainstream media alongside prominent experts, learn about the lived experiences of diverse Australians, and see opportunities and fresh approaches to tackle our most challenging health issues.
Marita Hefler
Researcher, News Editor, BMJ Tobacco Control
The future of health care is too important to leave to the mainstream media. Croakey provides a platform for robust, respectful and inclusive debate on the health issues that really matter.
Jennifer Doggett
Croakey editor and health policy analyst
I love the context and clarity that Croakey’s contributors bring to very complex issues. And the merch.
Marie McInerney
journalist, Croakey Editor
Croakey provides a national stage where all players in the health arena can have their voices heard. It has enabled consumers more easily to make their perspective and opinion known. Croakey has also taken a leadership role in developing a strong presence in social media, an important development for primary care in stimulating community-based approaches to health.
