Itās a must to stay connected with Croakey Health Media. They know all about whatās happening in Public Health, right up to the last minute!
Dr Janet Roden

Croakey provides a national stage where all players in the health arena can have their voices heard. It has enabled consumers more easily to make their perspective and opinion known.Ā Croakey has also taken a leadership role in developing a strong presence in social media, an important development for primary care in stimulating community-based approaches to health.
Leanne Wells
CEO of the Consumers Health Forum of Australia
Croakey Health Media was the official media partner forĀ VicHealthās Life and Health Reimagined series (2020). Croakeyās indepth coverage of the five-week series amplified the conversation about how we can make life after coronavirus better and healthier for everyone.
Croakeyās coverage included compelling articles about each weekās topic and wrap-ups of the live-streamed events, live tweeting, a Twitter takeover of the @WePublicHealth account and a podcast summarising the series.
Having Croakey as our media partner enabled us to reach a more diverse public health audience and introduced new voices and experts to the discussion. Croakeyās team also generated a lively dialogue on social media about the series, driving debate and frank discussion on the important topic of how do we create a healthier, fairer, better world post-pandemic.
I would highly recommend Croakey Conference News Service to anyone seeking an innovative and collaborative media partner for a conference or event.

With a health system that is facing unprecedented challenges we need all the courage and all the insight we can get our hands on. Croakey is a space that invites us to to challenge and interrogate our practice and our policy. Croakey’s journalism and activism inspires me to remain optimistic.

A great service that provided value and benefits for the Australian Health Promotion Association as an Association and the health promotion workforce more broadly.

Executive Officer, Australian Health Promotion Association
The old media is no longer able to meet the information needs of the 21st-century. News and opinion sites are blossoming but ones which specialise in, and have expertise in, healthcare in Australia are few and far between. Croakey Health Mediaās focus on equity in primary care is unique and welcome. It fills an important niche, providing very thoughtful and useful analysis and commentary.

Croakey not only gives me up to date information on contemporary health issues, but allows me to send my health information across Australia in an instant. It is also the perfect vehicle for starting peoplesā movements, engaging with Indigenous peoples and our issues, and building a community that has at its basis a desire to make positive change happen. It is polite and political, informative and inspiring. Active engagement is what Croakey does ā and I like it!
Professor Kerry Arabena
Public health leader
Croakey has served splendidly as an independent voice in the health policy arena. Ā It provided a forum for people with ideas and passion about health, especially from a social perspective and policy position, but always with humane concern can find a home. Ā We wish the re-platformed Croakey every success.
Emeritus Professor Stephen Leeder
The University of Sydney
Croakey is one of the few places where public health āactivistsā can vent their spleen. (Iām not sure why weāre called āactivistsā, but we certainly need a place to āventā.) Itās also a useful place for journalists/media to find contacts who can speak intelligently on public health issues.
Dr Rosemary Stanton OAM
Public health nutrition "activist"
Croakey provides snappy, expert views on the whole spectrum of public health issues, from equity to efficiency, from determinants to prevention to management. A one-stop shop to catch up on pet issues, and discover and adopt new ones.
