New Zealand doesn't have the same extremes of remoteness of Australia, but it does have a rugged landscape that results in small and scattered communities. And there is a strong rural identity, though the fraction of the population classified as rural is now around 16 percent.
As you'll hear, the populations which are disproportionately under-serviced and in worse health, are not necessarily the most remote. The demarcations fall much more starkly along lines of socioeconomic status, and areas of need are as often in minor urban settings as they are in the country. But there are solutions, and great experiences to be had serving these communities.
