The authors wish to thank Associate Professor Judy Taylor (Adjunct Principal Research Fellow at James Cook University) and Ms Lee Martinez (Rural and Mental Health Academic at the University of South Australia) for taking the time to thoroughly review the book.
Associate Professor Taylor, in her review of the book, notes:
The content of this ebook is excellent. Congratulations to the team on getting a very complex topic to a point where it is easily understandable and useable for the intended audience. A strength of this ebook is the sound arrangement of the content into three components; provision of clear, evidence-based guidelines, illustrations from practice and then resources that have been tested in practice.
Ms Martinez notes in her review of the book that:
The ebook covers the subject in detail. Excellent real-life examples are provided, which will assist to inform the intended audience and encourage further inquiry and thought. Having all the appendices will be a handy tool for the workshops. The information is relevant to rural, remote, and I believe could be used in metropolitan service redesign.
