Help support non-profit public interest journalism

Public interest journalism is an important determinant of health, due to its roles in accountability and holding power to account, empowering communities, and contributing to health literacy. A strong public interest journalism sector contributes to planetary health and health equity, as well as healthier people, communities, societies, and systems of governance.

What people say about Croakey

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 – Australia’s healthiest news-site!

Rob Oakeshott

Former MP

If news doesn’t make you squirm it’s simply propaganda. Croakey’s unique blend of activism, humour and plain good reporting makes it an essential – if not always comfortable – read!

Professor Virginia Barbour

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

Rebecca Zosel

Executive Officer, Australian Health Promotion Association

Croakey cuts through health care professional and organisational interests with edgy critiques about the diverse communities they are there for. In other words, you call BS on those with self interest.

Jason Trethowan

Health sector leader

If you work in the health area – and especially if you are a policy wonk, a political nerd, or a news fiend – then Croakey Blog is an essential component of your life. Croakey Blog and @Croakey tweets keep me informed about a wide range of health issues – the impact of budget cuts, new policy announcements and publications, expert opinions and commentary, and what’s being talked about at the conferences I’m unable to attend. I appreciate the timeliness, the broad scope of issues covered, and the breadth of expertise involved. And I particularly appreciate the strong commitment to social justice and tackling Indigenous disadvantage. I’m looking forward to the revamped and relaunched Croakey!

Lesley Russell

Croakey columnist and Adj Assoc Professor at Menzies Centre for Health Policy, University of Sydney

Croakey provides outstanding public interest journalism that challenges the status quo through an ethical and decolonised lens.

Professor Rebecca Ivers

School of Population Health, UNSW

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

Professor Fran Baum

Global public health leader

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!
