RANZCP 
The Rural Special Interest Group was formed in 2000 to represent the interests of psychiatrists living and working in rural and remote Australia and provincial areas of New Zealand. Although it is part of the RANZCP, membership of the group is not restricted to College Fellows. The group welcomes participation from anyone with an interest in rural psychiatry, including international doctors on working visas, policy makers and medical students.
