✦ Synopsis
Objective: To describe a model of remote area service provision in Australia.
Methods: Figures from the author's practice are compared with national figures provided by the Health Insurance Commission (HIC). Costs are compared with other practitioners providing similar services.
Results: An economic and efficient model of practice is readily available.
Conclusion: It is argued that without dramatically higher levels of support from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists and the Health Department, isolated practice is non-viable.
