Professional, Affordable, Accessible

The University of Canberra’s Mobile Health Clinic will provide new clinical placements for students along with treatment and care for patients who may not have access to some health services due to cost, travel required or service availability.

The University’s Faculty of Health will provide low cost health services, initially in Nutrition and Dietetics, and, in the near future, in Midwifery, Physiotherapy and Pharmacy. The mobile clinic will be staffed by highly trained postgraduate students and their qualified professional supervisors.

The project is modelled on the University’s popular and successful on-campus Faculty of Health Clinics which integrate the provision of allied health services and student learning.

Nutrition and Dietetics

This will be the first service offered. It provides help and advice for people with chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. It will also offer general healthy eating education to improve quality of life.

The service includes personalised dietary assessments, dietary advice and the provision of healthy eating plans and nutrition resources.
