My question is to the Minister for Health. The minister would be aware that the National Rural Health Students Network are in the parliament today. Could the minister explain how the government is ensuring that regional students who wish to study nursing, medicine and allied health can do so in regional Australia, thus training local people to meet the needs of local communities? Will the minister also consider using the Higher Education Contribution Scheme rebate as an incentive for graduates to locate in regional Australia?
