This project aims to examine the impact of the increasing levels of short-term health staffing in remote communities upon service acceptability to patients, workload and attitudes of long-term resident primary health care staff, and the effectiveness and cost of health services. There is a dearth of information about this 'fly in/fly out' (FIFO) workforce in remote communities, which have the worst health outcomes in the country. The project aims to inform consumers, health practitioners, health service planners and policy-makers about the impact of FIFO, as well as to contribute to the development of strategies designed to stabilise the remote health workforce.

该项目旨在研究偏远社区短期卫生工作人员的增加对患者的服务接受度、长期常驻初级卫生保健工作人员的工作量和态度以及卫生服务的有效性和费用的影响。关于边远社区这种“飞入/飞出”(FIFO)劳动力的信息很少，这些社区的健康状况是全国最差的。该项目旨在让消费者、卫生从业者、卫生服务规划者和政策制定者了解FIFO的影响，并为制定旨在稳定远程卫生人力的战略做出贡献。
