The 2024 Gundy Medical Muster brought health professionals from across regional and remote Australia to the heart of Goondiwindi for a landmark weekend of learning, connection, and celebration of rural medicine.
Developed by local clinicians passionate about providing education and networking opportunities for rural health professionals and their communities, the Gundy Medical Muster has been a fixture on the rural health calendar since 2008. The 2024 edition continued that proud tradition, drawing more than 150 delegates to tackle issues of real importance to the people who deliver healthcare where it’s needed most.
Delegates engaged with specialist speakers spanning multiple disciplines, took part in lively panel discussions, and shared insights shaped by the realities of rural and remote practice. Access to timely GP care for all rural residents was among the key themes that resonated across the weekend, a conversation as urgent as ever.
A special Gourmet Medical Muster evening, co-hosted with the Rotary Gourmet in Gundy festival, offered delegates the chance to enjoy fine food, local produce, great music, and good company, a reminder that Goondiwindi knows how to put on a show.
Whether you’re a GP, nurse, allied health professional, or medical student exploring a future in rural medicine, the Muster offers something rare: world-class education in a genuine community setting.
