RURAL AND REMOTE. The parties recognise that Queensland Health faces a number of challenges in relation to the recruitment and retention of nurses and midwives in rural and remote locations. This includes expanding demand for health services in these areas, the changing composition of health services as a result of the advent of new technology, non-alignment between the service location and where nurses and midwives are located, and competition with the resources sector. Queensland Health will work cooperatively with the QNU to develop ongoing strategies to address these challenges taking into account whole of government considerations. This will include examination of fatigue and overtime arrangements. From 1 April 2012, the RANIP annual isolation bonus as set out in HR Policy C2 will be increased as follows: • At conclusion of one year of service - $3,500 • At conclusion of two years of service - $10,500 • At conclusion of three or more years - $7,000 Cooktown will be incorporated as a designated RANIP site effective 1 April 2012. Within six months of certification of the agreement, the parties will evaluate and enhance the existing criteria for inclusion in RANIP. The aim is to assess the recruitment and retention performance of rural and remote locations, taking into consideration the local environment such as the expanding resources sector, in order to determine eligibility for inclusion in RANIP. Following this evaluation, a process will be jointly developed to consider the inclusion and/or removal of locations on an ongoing basis, subject to the workforce already engaged continuing to receive the package. HR Policy C2 will be varied to allow RANIP nurses and midwives the ability to cash out the air fare entitlement on a cost neutral basis. The cash equivalent must be directly related to travel being undertaken by the employee or for their spouse/dependants to travel to the centre.

RURAL AND REMOTE. It is often more difficult for people with chronic and complex conditions to access the care they need in rural and remote areas. The Parties agree to work together to enhance coordination of care for these communities by focussing on digital health and workforce improvements. Strong eHealth infrastructure in rural and remote areas can enable the sharing of information and resources, supporting patients receiving care as close to home as possible in a coordinated way. The Parties commit to increase the use of digital health across the acute, primary and aged care sectors in rural and remote area, including through the implementation of the National Digital Health Strategy. A sustainable, effective workforce is fundamental to improving health services for rural and remote communities. To support this, the Parties will work to strengthen the rural and remote workforce by: Identifying workforce gaps, duplications and priority areas for collaboration; Developing joint workforce strategies for priority areas, including post-graduate workforce pathways to retain people in rural and remote communities post-training, and considering shared employment arrangements; and Promoting training opportunities in Aboriginal Medical Services with a focus on better support for people with chronic and complex conditions. Joint activities in this area will be consistent with existing respective policies and frameworks, including: Commonwealth programs using the network of Rural Workforce Agencies; Commonwealth support for rural undergraduate training through the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training Program; and the NSW Rural Health Plan: Towards 2021 and the NSW Health Professional Workforce Plan 2012-2022.
