Established in April 1990, SPINRPHEX is the oldest student Rural Health Club in Australia! It is a dynamic club for nursing, dental and medical students interested in rural health.
Membership is free and is open to urban and rural tertiary students - currently there are over 600 active members from the University of Western Australia, Edith Cowan University, Curtin University and Notre Dame University. SPINRPHEX has strong foundations that enable it to provide an outstanding forum for students to learn and experience rural health. SPINRPHEX provides social support, personal development, team building and the opportunity for members to assist rural communities with our many annual events, including a two-day camp in a rural location, the SPINRPHEX Children's Festival, the Mental Health, Multidisciplinary, ATSI and Nursing themed nights, Sundowner and one-day conference.
For further information please go the SPINRPHEX website or Facebook page, or email their NRHSN Senior Representative Marie Leknys.
