Every two years the rural and remote health sector comes together at the National Rural Health Conference.

The 15th Conference will be held in Hobart, Tasmania, 24-27 March 2019, and one lucky Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences student will be in attendance thanks to Southern Queensland Rural Health (SQRH).
