Tips from previous students
- Lovely homestay host, it was delightful to stay there. She offered to take care of all my meals while I was in Maleny. Staying with her was one of the highlights of my rural placement.
Testimonials
The preceptors were both extremely good GPs who would always make time to give background and discuss patients with me. Their work ethics were also extremely inspiring.
I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of experiences and mentoring provided by Ochre Medical Centre Maleny and Montville, as well as the Maleny Soldiers War Memorial Hospital. Would strongly recommend this placement to future students.
This was an excellent clinic and small hospital. The staff were incredibly supportive and welcoming. 5/5 would go again.
Lovely community, the nurses were very warm and welcoming, and so helpful and supportive. The doctors were all very welcoming and kind. I felt very welcome at the practices and hospital. The team at the hospital were also great and gave me a lot of opportunities to get involved with whatever came into the hospital.
