BREAATHHE The University of Newcastle Rural Health Club. https://linktr.ee/breaathhe We're also one of the largest (by membership numbers) in the country.

BREAATHHE is proud to be one of 29 Rural Health Clubs (RHC) forming the National Rural Health Students Network (NRHSN). Like all RHCs, BREAATHHE aims to promote rural and remote practice to our members through information exchange, placement opportunities, support and advocacy. With 1100+ members, we're extremely proud to be the RHC with the most diverse collection of health degrees. We have a multi-disciplinary focus – with members from Medicine, Medical Radiation Science, Nursing/Midwifery, Nutrition & Dietetics, Occupational Therapy, Oral Health, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Psychology, Social Work and Speech Pathology, plus more – so it’s a great chance to get to know a little more about other health professions and make some contacts that just might come in handy at the end of your studies. We run a number of activities each year in order to promote rural and remote health careers to our members. Our activities provide fun and educational experiences for students and include first aid courses, skills night, rural high school visits, the Rural Soiree, speaker nights, scholarship nights, rural clinical school information nights, cultural awareness training, Allied Health careers information night, celebration of Indigenous culturally significant dates, and lots more…

BREAATHHE membership is just $5 for the life of your degree. To Join:

Day 1 of our second rural high school visit for 2026 💚 This time, our amazing team was made up of 23 students across medicine, nursing, midwifery, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, nutrition and dietetics, radiation therapy and pharmacy!

We started off with a warm welcome and morning tea at the Manning Education Centre. We then made our way to Wauchope for lunch in the park (and some play time in the playground!), before setting up at Wauchope High School to run nine different health-related stations for year 10-12. After packing up, we took the rest of the afternoon to rest up, which included an ice cream break in Port Macquarie and a swim at Grassy Beach, then a BBQ dinner and some very intense games of mafia at our accom.

Check back in tomorrow to see how day 2 went!
