National Rural Health Students' Network

Rural Health Workforce Australia supports the National Rural Health Students’ Network (NRHSN).

The NRHSN is a multidisciplinary health student network comprising 29 Rural Health Clubs (RHCs) located at universities around Australia, in every state and territory.  The NRHSN covers medical, nursing and allied health courses, and comprises a member base of more than 9000 students from the Rural Health Clubs. 

The NRHSN harnesses the passion of health students through representation, networking, professional development and initiatives to increase the health workforce and health outcomes for rural and remote Australians.

NRHSN members share a common interest in rural and remote and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. The NRHSN exists to provide access to support, opportunities and information, promoting equality and future health careers.  The NRHSN achieves its aims through locally based activities at rural health clubs (such as rural high school visits to promote health courses as a possible career option, speaker nights, workshops, scholarship nights and social events), as well as a national approach to issues such as Indigenous health and curricula.
