Student Testimonials

Pat Hower

Graduate in Occupational Therapy

"I completed practical placements in Warrnambool, Ballarat, Melbourne and Bega, which were great experiences and a lot of fun.

I graduated knowing I was thoroughly prepared to begin work in my chosen profession and start the next chapter of my life."

Emma Hall

Graduate in Podiatry

"As part of my final year curriculum, I undertook a large amount of fieldwork to consolidate my learning. My placement at Broken Hill expanded my knowledge of other healthcare professionals, improved my clinical skills and enabled me to become a better practitioner with a holistic view of healthcare.

I completed my placement in a rural area as I ultimately wanted to work in a rural area and, as you can imagine, Broken Hill is both rural and remote. I have always admired the Royal Flying Doctor Service, as it gives those who would otherwise miss out equal opportunity to healthcare.

The highlight of my placement in Broken Hill was flying 400km to a small country town to care for the people who would otherwise go without. The community was so grateful. It was such a rewarding experience and I was lucky to have such a fantastic field supervisor who taught me a great deal"
