There is an urgent need for Doctors and specialists right across the board in the Rockhampton and Gracemere communities.

Unacceptable wait times are impacting the long-term health of a community which already compares poorly to the south east corner.

Our publicly funded hospital does not have a full cohort of medical professionals or equipment that would be expected in a community of our size.

It is not good enough for Rockhampton and Gracemere to have poorer health outcomes in critical areas than other cities our size.
