What We Do
Aussie Health Abroad hopes that through working together to share our medical knowledge, resources and skills we can improve the plight of people who may not have had the opportunities that we have. We aim to improve the standard of medical care in underdeveloped regions of the world through medical education, as well as direct medical care.
Subscribing to the maxim - 'give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will never go hungry', Aussie Health Abroad strives to help doctors develop skills to effectively treat specialist medical conditions that arise in their own backyard. We believe that we can make a difference to thousands of lives, and invite you to partner with us as we achieve this goal.
Medical Education
HELPING HANDS TRAINING
It is the goal of Aussie Health Abroad to provide training that
will teach doctors in developing regions of the world how to handle cases that they previously may not have had the expertise to meet. Through conferences, one on one teaching and specific mentoring it is our aim to increase the skill level of medical professionals to meet the medical challenges that currently go untreated, and unlock the potential of doctors in these nations.
Direct Medical Care
As well as providing training to doctors in vulnerable areas of the world, Aussie Health Abroad also facilitates direct medical care. Since 2004, Mr Crock has operated extensively in the Fijian archipelago. Operating lists cover a variety of cases, from removal of life threatening tumours, to treatment of bone fractures, to facial reconstruction as a result of trauma.

Medical Resources – buildings and programs
Although Aussie Health Abroad is a young organisation, we believe that this should not be an obstruction to the company seizing opportunities as they arise. Recently, we have become aware of a pertinent need in Fiji for a hygienic, high standard medical training facility. This facility would provide visiting doctors with a location where they can operate and train local surgeons. As a result, we have put together a proposal to build and service a medical facility in the less serviced areas of Fiji and look forward to pursuing this option in the future.
