Our mission is to significantly contribute to the health of rural and remote Western Australian communities through education, professional development and research. We will do this by:

• increasing the numbers of student - weeks spent in rural and remote locations in medicine, nursing and allied health teaching programs
• raising the profile of rural teaching, research and practice in academic departments,
• increasing recruitment and retention rates by supporting effective strategies to make rural and remote practice more professionally rewarding,
• contributing to an increased number of skilled Aboriginal people working in the health sector, and
• becoming a centre known for innovative and practical rural and remote population health research and policy analysis.

The main office of CUCRH is located in a striking A-frame building at 167 Fitzgerald Street, Geraldton.

In Geraldton CUCRH co-locates with the Rural Clinical School.

In Port Hedland CUCRH has a conveniently located office in the Post Office Complex, South Hedland. The office has workstations for 4 academic/project staff and is able to accommodate up to 6 students.
