WARRIAHS

WARRIAHS or Wagga Area Rural Remote Indigenous Allied Health Services is the Rural Health Club of Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga (NSW) uniting undergraduate health professionals across all disciplines. The club has set a new record with over 250 members, from a variety of different disciplines including pharmacy, biomedical sciences, dietetics, social work, nursing, radiography, nuclear medicine, and medical sciences.

CSU in Wagga is the ideal place for a Rural Health Club, with most members experiencing rural placements at some point during their degree. Wagga itself being a rural community, members have first hand experience in dealing with many of the pressures and issues faced by rural health practitioners.
