What is Health Careers in the Bush About?
Health Careers in the Bush (HCB) is a program that provides school students from all over rural and remote Queensland with the information, encouragement, and support to make an informed decision about whether a career in health is for them and if so, how to pursue such a career.
The underlying principal of the program is to increase the number of rural origin students entering a career in the health industry and returning to rural and remote Queensland to practice their profession.
