About us
Welcome to The University of Melbourne School of Rural Health website.
Our School provides professional health education and research training in a rural context. Based at Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley, we have major nodes at Ballarat and Wangaratta and associations with nearly 40 smaller towns in rural Victoria.
We offer an exciting range of multidisciplinary opportunities for undergraduate, postgraduate students and practising health professionals.
We aim to make our students' time at the School rich in academic, social and cultural experiences, providing a real sense of the many opportunities in rural Victoria for community involvement and service.
Our success depends on support from our local community, especially the health care sector. Partnership with many agencies in the Shepparton and Ballarat regions underpin our teaching and research.
Warmest Regards
