RACP President, Dr Jacqueline Small spoke with ABC News about the health impacts of Australia's extreme weather events. “Physicians are concerned that our healthcare system will not be able to support Australians during these extreme weather events if this strategy is not fully funded, resourced and prepared specifically for managing our changing environment and climate conditions" says Dr Small. “That’s why the Healthy Climate Future campaign has such widespread support across the medical sector – we know this is an issue that needs to be addressed."
