Our Partnerships

The Central Queensland Centre for Rural and Remote Health is one of 17 University Departments of Rural Health [UDRH] across Australia, and nationally networked through the Australian Rural Health Education Network [ARHEN].

What do University Departments of Rural Health do?

Across Australia, UDRHs:

• Provide clinical placements and teaching activities which deliver rich, authentic learning experiences, and prepare students for professional practice in distinctive remote and rural settings.
• Undertake research focused on rural and remote problems and develop and test original solutions, including research, which may have national and international significance. This research informs the development of accessible and sustainable health services for Australia.
• Work with their communities to build capacity to respond effectively to the contemporary challenges in rural and remote health.
