Croakey allows for independent voices to resonate in and through virtual time and space. Real people, real voices, real issues with independent oomph – that’s Croakey. Time and again I go to Croakey to understand the politics behind public health because Croakey sorts the wheat from the chaff. There is just one mob of journos to trust with my voice, and it’s the Croakey mob. In the surreal and disconnected world of academia I go to Croakey to get grounded in the real issues.

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

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.

One of my favourite things about Croakey is the active engagement of so many people with a passion for equity and public health.

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

At the Walkleys we celebrate and support great Australian journalism. Through our Walkley Grants for Innovation in Journalism we encourage projects that combine quality reporting with an entrepreneurial approach. We’re proud to support projects like Croakey that are an innovative platform driven by independent, ethical journalism for the public benefit.

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 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.

Loved the program. Love the Croakey news service – think it really gives the conference a bigger audience!

Great event and extensive social media coverage
