Student Health Alliance for Rural Populations (SHARP)

Welcome

Student Health Alliance for Rural Populations (SHARP) is the University of Wollongong’s own, student-run, Rural Health Club.

Welcome to SHARP

SHARP harnesses the good intent of students representing multiple disciplines in Health and Medicine with a common interest in rural and remote health.

SHARP is all about providing fantastic events and opportunities for health and medical students. Our activities range from rural high school visits, Indigenous festivals, rural road trips, social activities, and guest speaker nights, to supporting students on rural placements.

Feel free to browse through our website to learn more about us. Find write-ups and photos of our past activities! See what’s coming up and how to get involved!
