Going Rural

Health Workforce Queensland recognises that for nursing, midwifery and allied health students interested in exploring career pathways into remote and rural health, placement opportunities and support can be limited.

Supporting nursing, midwifery, allied health and dentistry students to undertake remote and rural placements is underpinned by Future Workforce’s commitment to ensure the programs and activities it delivers are inclusive of all health disciplines that will, in the long-term, contribute to creating a quality remote and rural workforce that is both accessible and sustainable.

What Are the Benefits of Going Rural?
