Welcome to the Centre for Rural Health
The Centre for Rural Health (CRH) is one of the academic units within the University of Tasmania’s College of Health and Medicine working towards improving rural health.
Established in 1997 under the Regional Health Strategy of the Australian Government, the CRH aims to improve access for rural and remote communities to appropriate health services by encouraging students to pursue a career in rural practice and supporting health care professionals working in these areas. The CRH is one of 19 University Departments of Rural Health established around Australia, and is linked to these other Departments through its membership of the Australian Rural Health Education Network (ARHEN).
