National Rural Health Student Network The National Rural Health Student Network (NRHSN) represents the future of rural health in Australia. It has more than 11,000 members who belong to 29 university Rural Health Clubs from all states and territories. It is Australia’s only multi-disciplinary student health network, bringing together people studying medicine, nursing and allied health, encouraging them to pursue careers in the bush. The NRHSN has two aims: 1. to provide a voice for students who are interested in improving health outcomes for rural and remote Australians 2. to promote rural health careers to students and encourage students who are interested in practising in rural health care. The NRHSN and its Rural Health Clubs offer rural experience weekends, career information sessions and professional development activities as well as providing a social base for students at university and when on rural placement. The student network leaders also advocate on behalf of health students of all disciplines - including opportunities for more rural placements and training support. The NRHSN is administered by the NSW Rural Doctors Network on behalf of the Rural Workforce Agency Network with funding from the Federal Department of Health. Rural Workforce Agency Network Each state and the Northern Territory has a Rural Workforce Agency (RWA) that supports the rural health workforce in their own jurisdiction. The Rural Workforce Agencies have formed a Consortium to administer the NRHSN with NSW Rural Doctors Network (RDN) providing the lead agency role. Rural Workforce Agencies are funded by the Australian Government Department of Health. Contact us National Rural Health Student Network info@nrhsn.org.au www.nrhsn.org.au
