It sees around 150 medicine, nursing and allied health students from the NRHSN attend from around Australia. RAW is a camping event held over the October long weekend on the Nott family’s property “Oakfield” outside of Dunedoo each year. RAW gives delegates an opportunity to network in a mutlidisciplinary setting and learn more about what it is like to live in rural or remote Australia. The weekend is absolutely packed with a range of activities to keep students entertained from snake envenomation, Indigenous cultural awareness and sheep handling worshops to a range of guest speakers and of course a few parties for good measure. RAW has proven to inspire many young health students to begin think about taking placements in rural and remote Australia through given them a positive experience in a rural setting.

In 2009 RAW won the NRHSN Award for “Best Rural Health Event for 2008″ and continues to be one of Australia’s finest events run by a rural health club in Australia.

For those of you a little cautious about attending RAW, think again! This event is not just for those die hards that love the bush… If you at all enjoy a laugh, meeting new people and of course generally having a good time, then RAW is definately for you! Our program is absolutely jam packed with a great combination of hands on farming experience, workshops that will teach you things that your universities won’t and of course some good ol fashioned partying!!!
