To continue and strengthen our commitment to public interest journalism, Croakey is currently undertaking a review of our social media engagement strategies.

The Digital Dialect Consultancy is conducting research to help us better understand our impact and engagement across social media.

We invite Croakey readers to undertake a short survey asking about your use of our social media content. We estimate it will take you less than 5 minutes to complete.

Your participation will be anonymous, and the results will be collated in a report for Croakey that will help to shape our future interactions with readers online.

We welcome your input and can confirm your information will not be used for any other purpose.

The cut off date for participation in the survey is Friday, 16 April 2021.

Social media platforms are suppressing the sharing of news; we are asking readers to support public interest journalism by sharing it through other means.

Testimonials

I subscribe to Croakey because it provides breadth and depth in covering health issues that matter at a personal and structural level.
Croakey distils why health policy and programs matter and keeps that focus when analysing details that either enables good outcomes or works against them.
Independent, informed, thought-provoking; not always agreed with, but always worth considering.
Working on health and social policy with the complexities involved, Croakey helps me access concise contemporary insights and informed views. Worth every cent.

Long-term policy analyst and manager

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)

Mental Health Victoria – Croakey Conference News Service coverage of #Lived Experience online forum
Mental Health Victoria, in partnership with the Victorian Healthcare Association, ran an online forum on the importance of embedding the voice of lived experience in mental health system reform.
Croakey journalist Marie McInerney did an exceptional job of covering the event through both real-time social media posts and a written article summarising the discussion and themes that arose during the forum.
Her regular Twitter posts throughout the event generated lively discussion and helped emphasise and elevate the important contributions from the consumer voices.
The article that Marie wrote on the event, titled “Imagine a mental health system that meets the needs of consumers and carers” took the reader on a journey through the forum’s key themes along with images and other media to supplement the discussion. It received very positive feedback from all involved.

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 a must for anybody looking to stay on the cutting edge of health and social policy news. Subject matter experts offer frank and valuable perspectives on the stories that matter, ensuring that Croakey is truly independent, well-informed, public interest journalism.

Adjunct Professor Alison Verhoeven

Croakey Health Media director

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

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