The Spencer Gulf Rural Health School

The Spencer Gulf Rural Health School (SGRHS) is a regional multi-disciplinary school of health science created as a joint initiative of the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia. SGRHS is supported by the Australian federal government’s Department of Health and Ageing through the Rural Clinical Schools program (RCS), the University Department of Rural Health program (UDRH), the Rural Undergraduate Support and Coordination program (RUSC) and the Primary Health Care Research Evaluation and Development program (PHC_RED).

SGRHS research and evaluation projects are funded by competitive grants from national schemes (eg NHMRC), from the state Department of Health, from regional health services and from other rural organisation including Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services.
