What did you enjoy most about your rural placement?

The community, the events, the laid-back lifestyle, the walkability.

Would you recommend a rural placement to other students? Why?

Yes - exposure to different lifestyles and perspectives. Also great to experience new things and places!

What are your top tips for students considering a rural placement?

Go with a friend or two. And have an open mind to experience new things and places!

Did you stay in SQRH accommodation or have interactions with SQRH staff?

I stayed in SQRH accommodation - it was very clean and had everything I could need! Love it.

I also loved all the SQRH staff - especially Steve, Maddie, and Cass.

From Toowoomba to Charleville, Kingaroy to Goondiwindi, our students’ complete rural placements all over regional, rural, and remote Southern Queensland (across more than 400,000 square kilometres).

Learn first-hand from students, just like yourself, about their experience going on a rural placement, and why it’s an experience like no other!
