Business Overview
Monash University School of Rural Health is dedicated to improving health outcomes in rural and regional communities across Victoria. With eight clinical teaching sites stretching from Mildura to Bairnsdale, the school provides hands-on training and education for future doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals. Students benefit from small group learning, close mentorship from experienced clinicians, and placements that immerse them in the realities of rural practice.
