Bringing Rural Experience and Awareness to Hunter Health Education

The University of Newcastle Rural Health Club.

BREAATHHE is proud to be one of 29 Rural Health Clubs (RHC) forming the National Rural Health Students Network (NRHSN). Like all RHCs, BREAATHHE aims to promote rural and remote practice to our members through information exchange, placement opportunities, support and advocacy. With 1100 + members, we're extremely proud to be the RHC with the most diverse collection of Health degrees /professions. We're also one of the largest (by membership numbers) in the country.

We have a multi-disciplinary focus – with members from Medicine, Medical Radiation Science, Nursing /Midwifery, Nutrition & Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Oral Health, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Psychology, Social Work and Speech Pathology – so it’s a great chance to get to know a little more about other health professions and make some contacts that just might come in handy at the end of your studies.

We run a number of activities each year in order to promote rural and remote health careers to our members. Our activities provide fun and educational experiences for students and include our annual Skills Night, trips to rural and remote areas, themed multidisciplinary networking nights (like our infamous Texas Ranch event), club BBQs, Rural High School Visits, cultural awareness training, Indigenous health nights, Indigenous Community Festival trips, Interprofessional development speaker nights, and lots more…

BREAATHHE membership is just $2 for the life of your degree and gets you a line to the latest opportunities and events. So what are you waiting for?
