Broken Hill

The Broken Hill University Department of Rural Health (BH UDRH) aims to improve health care in far western NSW by providing high quality support, education and training for rural and remote health workers

Its focus is to establish relevant teaching and support environments, promote opportunities for student placements in the region, and deliver a successful rural attachment program for medical, nursing and allied health students

The organisation also encourages experienced academic staff to spend time in the bush and foster partnerships to improve the quality of health care for rural Australians

Located within the Department is the Centre for Remote Health Research, which aims to enhance the national expertise in rural and remote health research and the translation of research into policy and practice.
