Find Your Place in Health at Flinders Riverland Open Night at Flinders Renmark Campus
If you or someone you know is considering a career in Nursing, Allied Health or Medicine, the Flinders Riverland Open Night offers an opportunity to explore your options and discover what studying locally can provide.
Prospective students and their families can meet academics, speak with current students, and connect with recruitment staff to gain practical insights into courses, pathways and career opportunities.
Studying health in the Riverland is about more than earning a qualification. It means training in a regional community, learning alongside local health professionals, and contributing to a workforce that supports the future of healthcare in the region.
The evening will include dedicated information sessions:
• 6.00pm – 7.00pm: Nursing
• 7.00pm – 8.00pm: Allied Health
• 7.30pm – 8.30pm: Health and Medicine
Attendees will also have the opportunity to speak with members of Yungkurrinthi, who provide support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students throughout their university journey.
Whether you're finishing school, considering a career change, or exploring study options closer to home, the Flinders Riverland Open Night is a chance to find out what a future in health could look like in the Riverland.

This year is particularly significant as we celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC, reflecting on the enduring strength, resilience, and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As we honour this important milestone, the upcoming theme of "50 Years of Deadly" reminds us of the generations of Elders, leaders, artists, advocates, and communities who have shaped the movement and continue to inspire the future. It is a celebration of culture, survival, achievement, and the ongoing journey towards truth, respect, and reconciliation.
Our Flinders Rural and Remote Health staff joined the march in Murray Bridge and Berri.
