MIRAGE

MIRAGE is the University of Sydney's Rural Health Club. MIRAGE stands for Multi-disciplinary Interest in Rural and General health Education. As our name states, our club membership includes a wide range of disciplines: nursing, pharmacy, physio, public health, OT, dentistry, medical students and more! We aim to promote diversity in our club. As well as three main Sydney campuses, MIRAGE also supports members in the rural towns of Orange, Dubbo, Broken Hill and Lismore.  

Our members are passionate about improving rural health, and many come from a rural background. To promote better health for Indigenous people we encourage Indigenous membership, attend the NSW CrocFest events, and hold an annual Indigenous Health Forum that is open to the public.

A key objective for MIRAGE is to get young people from rural and remote areas and Indigenous backgrounds inspired about careers in health, through participation in Careers Expos and Rural High School Visits around NSW. Importantly, we also have a lot of fun at the myriad of social activities throughout the year that keep us energised and spread the message of Rural Health.
