Welcome to CARHSS

Central Australian Remote Health Student Society (CARHSS) is a multidisciplinary free student group based in the Centre for Remote Health, including students from Charles Darwin University and the Flinders NT Medical Program Campus in Mparntwe, Alice Springs. CARHSS members include university students from Nursing, Aboriginal Health, Pharmacy, Medicine, Psychology, Sports and Exercise Science, Social Work and Public Health and Community, and other health disciplines.

CARHSS provides a voice for students who are passionate about rural and remote health. We facilitate multi-disciplinary networking between local clinicians and students, professional development opportunities and training, and experience in working in rural and remote areas. We aim to interact and engage with people and high school students living in rural and remote communities, by sharing our knowledge about healthy lifestyle choices and educational pathways towards various health professions in a fun and interactive way.
