Community Advisory Board

All rural clinical schools funded by The Commonwealth Department of Health & Ageing have a Community Advisory Board (CAB).

The Board's function is to build collaborative and strategic relationships for the School of Rural Health. It facilitates local partnership arrangements to ensure that existing and planned resources provide maximum benefits to students and the local community.

CAB meetings are held twice a year and alternate between campuses.
