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
From a crowded inbox, Croakey always leaps to my attention. It delivers views and information on a wide range of issues of relevance to rural and remote health and wellbeing.
Gordon Gregory
Rural health advocate
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 an informed voice to the health, equity and environmental debates, and is helping mobilise the necessary political and popular support for a radical break from the complacent and compartmentalized attitude that still dominates much of the political agenda.
Croakey continues to go from strength to strength and is indispensable.
Professor Sharon Friel
Director, Australian Research Centre for Health Equity, ANU
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.
John Flannery
Health communications expert
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.
Michael Moore
Public health leader
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.

Loved the program. Love the Croakey news service – think it really gives the conference a bigger audience!
Great event and extensive social media coverage
Conference delegates
The Oceanic Palliative Care Conference (#21OPCC)
Croakey has, over some years, provided a platform for debate about health policy, planning, funding and services. There aren’t enough places for these debates, and important issues affecting the health of our community risk going unexplored. Croakey helps to fill this hole. Viva Croakey!

Senior Lecturer, Brain and Mind Centre, Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney
The old media is no longer able to meet the information needs of the 21st-century. News and opinion sites are blossoming but ones which specialise in, and have expertise in, healthcare in Australia are few and far between. Croakey Health Media’s focus on equity in primary care is unique and welcome. It fills an important niche, providing very thoughtful and useful analysis and commentary.
