(PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- The Australian Health Directory® at healthdirectory.com.au takes its social responsibility to an elevated level. It combines commercial advertising with community services, assisting not-for-profit and public sector health care providers, and aged care facilities nation-wide to disseminate information on a pro-bono basis.
Not-for-profit organisations and support groups are very important contributors to the overall wellbeing of the nation as they create communities for people to connect with, learn to manage their illness better and enjoy a sense of belonging. healthdirectory.com.au provides a platform for improved communication between these groups and their potential members.
The aged care directory that is part of healthdirectory.com.au, has already demonstrated how health service providers and consumers can benefit from community service advertising. The aged care directory is already a valuable resource for potential residents, carers and hospital discharge planning staff. The directory enables users to find nursing homes and hostels within a desired radius around their postcode and to search for vacancies.
healthdirectory.com.au is designed to make it easy for people within Australia and from other parts of the globe to navigate our health industry. There is no other vertical health market directory with a similar purpose - to connect service providers with consumers and B2B suppliers of the industry nation-wide, at a single point.
"healthdirectory.com.au can be used by participants for a range of purposes; to promote support groups, new and existing health services and products, to tell potential staff the benefits of joining a health service and to increase export revenue by communicating to medical tourists about our private sector services" - said Richard O'Hagan, Manager Online Services.
"We live in a competitive global market and have to address the critical shortage of health professionals, especially in rural and remote Australia. healthdirectory.com.au can show off our health and aged care industry to the world, helping to attract doctors and nurses from other countries.
"Climate change, the increasing cost of water, food and energy are likely to have a negative effect on the health of Australians and increase the cost of healthcare. Healthcare consumers and businesses will be forced to look for the closest and most efficient providers to reduce costs. healthdirectory.com.au is ready to assist them by becoming a gateway to the broad range of participants in the health and aged care industry across Australia" - said O'Hagan.
