"I felt very supported by the Going Rural Health team throughout my placement. Not only did they offer financial support for our accommodation and expenses, they also had physiotherapists come out on-site to ensure we were okay and give us feedback on how we were going. Knowing we had the Going Rural Health team made the rural placement experience a lot less intimidating, and I am very grateful to have had their support."
