About
Putting rural issues in focus
RMC SA/NT is a non-political, non-profit organisation which provides a forum for discussing issues vital to rural South Australia and the Northern Territory.
Who we are
With a membership of more than 140, RMC SA/NT is one of the largest media associations in Australia.
Previously known as the Rural Media Association of SA (RMSA), we have been operating since 1970.
We're managed by a committee of volunteers, elected at an annual general meeting held every August.
RMC SA/NT is affiliated with other state-based rural journalist organisations in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and WA and is a member of the Australian Council of Agricultural Journalists (ACAJ) and the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ).
If you are involved with, or just have a keen interest in, any aspect of rural life or farming in South Australia or the Northern Territory, you should join this vital network.
