Rural Outlook for University Students Towards Allied Health (ROUSTAH) is the rural health club of the University of South Australia. The club was formed in 1996 to generate interest in rural and remote health issues and practice, and membership is steadily increasing. We welcome students from allied health, nursing and midwifery programs.

What is ROUSTAH all about?

ROUSTAH is about sharing enthusiasm for rural and remote practice. We are about getting allied health students together who are interested in rural and remote health, interested in learning new skills and knowledge relevant to country practice and who are interested in developing relationships with like minded people. ROUSTAH is one of 25 university rural health clubs around Australia which together form the National Rural Health Students Network (NRHSN). The network is about seeking to improve the poor state of rural and remote health in Australia and in 2001 became a politically active body to better influence change.

ROUSTAH is pleased to welcome the following members to the 2010 Committee

Ruth Vogelsang, Leigh Thomas, Emma-Jane Budarick, Lien Tran, Karen Nelson, Martins Strikis, Jasmin Tait van Leuven, Jasmine Smith, Jess Webb, Kristy Sharp, Alice Keating, Maddy Nelligan, Emma Brook, Kassie Wright and Josephine Rossi.
