Welcome to RHUWS

RHUWS is the multidisciplinary student group at the University of Western Sydney that connects you with rural health. Our aim is to give you a feel for what working in rural and remote communities is all about. At the same time, we aim to engage people living in rural and remote areas and educate them about how to get involved in a health career.

  • Clinical Skills Night
