RESIDENTIAL STUDENT ADVISORS Resident Student Advisors • Lost your key? • Reporting an accommodation maintenance issue? • Want to give feedback about accommodation? Your first point of contact is your Residential Student Advisor (RSA). The RSAs are the first point of contact for student residents outside normal Rural Health Academic Centre Office Hours (9.00am to 5.00pm Monday – Friday). RSAs are senior students appointed to assist with the dayto-day operation of residences. They provide out-of-hours assistance to residents (e.g. lost keys, broken equipment) and are informal mentors who provide advice and assistance on living harmoniously in residences, and how to locate information and services. RSAs may log matters arising out-of-hours for later referral to the Student Administration Office, or immediately to the appropriate service or facility contractor, if an emergency or urgent issue arises. RSAs may be contacted on Rural Health Academic Centre supplied mobile phones as follows: • Ballarat 0400 564 934 • Shepparton 0438 505 680 • Wangaratta 0438 312 530 Please also refer to the Noticeboard in your residence for Resident Student Advisor names and contact numbers. Please note you should always refer to the Rural Health Academic Centre Emergency Contact Card attached to your accommodation keys if in doubt of who to contact. Resident Student Advisors (RSAs) are the first point of contact for student residents outside normal Rural Health 14
ABOUT THE RURAL HEALTH ACADEMIC CENTRE Welcome to the Rural Health Academic Centre (RHAC), The University of Melbourne’s centre of teaching, research and community development in rural health. The Rural Health Academic Centre manages the University Department of Rural Health and the Rural Clinical School which are two programs funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. The RHAC aims to increase the number of practitioners working in rural settings by providing education and training. Through close relationships with local hospitals and other rural health services, the RHAC shares resources and staff to enable an integrated approach to rural health education and training in Victorian rural areas. The RHAC has three campuses – Ballarat, Shepparton and Wangaratta - with multi-purpose facilities comprising student residential accommodation, office and administration areas as well as conference rooms, tutorial rooms, library, computers, a clinical skills laboratory and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology. New clinical training locations are in Benalla, Echuca and Yarrawonga. About the Rural Health Academic Centre The Rural Clinical School (RCS) established under an initiative of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing, admitted its first medical students in July 2002. Since July 2004, the RCS has trained 25% of University of Melbourne Australian medical students undertaking their clinical years. The RCS works closely with hospitals of Ballarat Health, Bendigo Health, Benalla & District Memorial Hospital, Echuca Regional Health, Goulburn Valley Health, Northeast Health Wangaratta, Yarrawonga District Health Service and general practices in the region. The University Department of Rural Health program is also funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. Its mission is to improve the health and well being of rural and indigenous communities through quality, collaborative, multidisciplinary, culturally sensitive health education and research. The program includes a three-week Rural Health Module, which is a compulsory unit for medical students, and other placements for dental, physiotherapy, nursing and allied health students. The RHAC also offers postgraduate training and conducts research. 15
