Country-life will be healthier for students

Deakin and Monash universities, with Uni Melbourne have agreed on a collaboration to improve rural health outcomes. The three universities rural health departments have different patches, across country Victoria. They say the arrangement will benefit priority areas – indigenous programs plus nursing and allied health students.

“If a student from one university is placed in an area covered by another, both will cooperate to ensure the student is supported,” the allies announce.

Good-o, but what previously happened for a student from Uni X who was placed on Uni Y’s turf?
