Director's welcome
As Director of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the Bendigo Campus I am delighted to welcome you to our website. One of the major strengths of La Trobe University is its regional campuses.
Our location in the beautiful and historic city of Bendigo is a fantastic place to study. The Faculty of Health Sciences offers innovative and contemporary programs, with students on every campus engaging in cross campus interprofessional education. Whilst our graduates are eagerly sought, in Australia and overseas, rural and regional Victoria have significant health workforce shortages. A very high percentage of our graduates commence employment in the region. Working in rural and regional Australia provides exciting opportunities for interesting, challenging and very diverse careers. Our health science courses are amongst the best in Australia and our facilities in Bendigo are world class as you will see by looking around our website.
You will engage in exciting, innovative classes, graduate as Australia’s best health science graduates, get to experience the great careers that are available in regional Australia and live in one of Australia’s most beautiful regional cities. In Bendigo, you will know your fellow students really well and will make friends that will last a life time. Bendigo has fantastic cafes, a great sense of community, many opportunities for sporting and cultural activities, and if you are really lucky you will get to come face to face with the world’s longest imperial dragon. We look forward to welcoming you to Bendigo.
