Although access to rural health sevices has been an enduring focus for a variety of scholars, little has been recorded about the intersection between health service policy provision and access experiences. This paper identifies how community action can highlight the gaps between policy rhetoric and access experieces. Taking the case of rural new zealand, we document how a community organisation rural women new zealand (RWNZ) completed a national survey as a form of community action. This study records rural households' experiences and challenges when accessing both primary and secondary health services. A range of access problems is identified. The study also illustrates how community based activism concerning health care need not be local or single service focussed, but can involve a multi service critique at the national scale. Such work highlights not only the experience but also the complexity and politics of health service access.
