Steering Committees and Working Groups

This section of the website provides information of the activity of the Association and the manner in which the Association conducts its business. Visitors to these pages, particularly the Steering Committees and Subgroups, will gain an understanding on the current areas of activity and work of the membership of the organisation.

In 2008, SARRAH launched the Rural and Remote Allied Health Research Alliance (RRAHRA).  The Alliance is coordinated by a 6 member steering committee and has a focus on rural and remote allied health research, clinical education and interprofessional education.

Steering Committees

Other Committees of the Association may be formed according to the current activity of the Association. Committees of the Association may be time limited or long standing. Committee membership is through appointment or nomination, with a set number of members per committee. The Board may, from time to time, appoint members to a Committee that are not financial members of the Association where a particular expertise or skill is required.

 During 2009, four Steering Committees have been established:

• Planning Steering Committee;
• Transition of AHPs to Remote & Rural Practice Steering Committee;
• 2009 SARRAH Summit (work competed); and
• 2010 National SARRAH Conference.

Please follow the links to view information on the membership of the Steering Committees and the Steering Committee objectives. Where available status reports and outputs from the Steering Committees will be made available for viewing.

Steering Committee members are reminded to Login to access committee discussion forum and committee documentation.

Working Groups

From time to time the Association will form working groups from its membership. Working groups will have a particular targeted action to perform. The activity of the Working Groups may be time limited or on going. 

In 2009, SARRAH three Working Groups have been established to focus on: 

• Capacity Building Working Group
• Clinical Placement Scholarship Scheme;
• Transition of AHPs to Remote & Rural Practice Working Group

The activities of the Working Groups are sponsored by a member of the SARRAH Board who will take the role of Chair or Chair's proxy for the Working Group.

The membership of the Working Groups, Working Group objectives and a brief status report on the activity of the Working Groups can be viewed by selecting the links.
