The Department of Rural Health (the Department) is based in Shepparton, but also conducts its activities in Ballarat, Wangaratta and many other locations.

The Department also provides clinical education in a rural environment in other professional disciplines in the Faculty (particularly Dental Science and Physiotherapy).
