LRHS School and Dep
The La Trobe Rural Health School aims to Make Rural Health and Wellbeing Matter locally, nationally and internationally through graduates and research outcomes that make a difference.
We foster social justice through engaging with the health and wellbeing of rural communities across Victoria recognising strengths and needs. We define rural as any region outside of a major Australian metropolitan city and are proud to be based on each of La Trobe’s regional campuses in Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, Mildura and Shepparton.
The School is distinctive for being entirely based in the regions, and graduating students from many health disciplines back into the rural Victorian health workforce.
The La Trobe Rural Health School aspires to be not only Australia’s largest rural health school, but also Australia’s best rural health school as measured by our graduates’ success as rural healthcare professionals, and our research rankings.
