Research

We aim to make a significant contribution to the South West by conducting impactful research activities and fostering engagement in research across our region. This will involve streamlined expansion of rural networks, facilitation of research collaborations, research mentoring of students and early career researchers, and establishment of partnerships to promote the profile of South West-based researchers as rural health research leaders nationally.

How do I become a researcher?

The UDRH SW aims to empower local clinicians to develop their research skills by working with them to grow their research capabilities.

Acknowledging traditional custodians

We acknowledge and pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People
