Who Are We?
Rural Outlook for University Students Towards All Health (ROUSTAH) is a student-run Rural Health Club for the University of South Australia. The club was formed in 1996 to generate interest in rural and remote health issues and practice among university students. We are members of National Rural Health Student Network (NRHSN) & the University of South Australia Student Association (USASA).

We warmly welcome students from all health programs, including Allied Health, Nursing, Midwifery, Psychology and Social Sciences.

ROUSTAH is about sharing enthusiasm for rural and remote health practice. We are all about getting students together to learn new skills and knowledge relevant to rural practice while developing relationships with like-minded people.
