Media Resources

Helping media cover health stories

Hunter New England Health has many resources available to media with both story ideas and ready-to-go news items.

We also have the Reporting Suicide and Mental Illness Guidelines (pdf) 939K available. For more information about reporting on mental illness, visit www.mindframe-media.info .

We produce regular media releases which are available on our website:

 

The Hunter Medical Research Institute , a partnership between Hunter New England Health and the University of Newcastle, produces an annual newsletter, Searcher , which is also mailed to all local media.

 

Hunter New England Health sponsors the Joint Medical Newsletter, a quarterly publication coordinated by Kathy Byrne at Newcastle University. This is a great source of stories - please ask Kathy to add you to the mailing list if you don't already receive this publication.

  • We update our website daily - access copies of the latest Hunter New England Health media releases, newsletters and reports at www.hnehealth.nsw.gov.au

  • You can also access information about the latest medical research happening at www.hmri.net.au

  • The NSW Health website includes Department of Health media releases and media releases from the Minister for Health - access the site at www.health.nsw.gov.au

  • If you would like to discuss other ideas or have a specific request, please don't hesitate to contact us!
