Student accommodation
It is the responsibility of each individual student to arrange and book their own accommodation prior to commencement of placement. Details of all local accommodation options will be included in your orientation pack. Accommodation options include:
Deakin Rural Health accommodation
High standard, stylish & modern, low-cost accommodation, comprising individual bedrooms with shared kitchen, living & dining, laundry and bathroom facilities. Access to communal study area with wi-fi. Onsite parking (2-3 cars).
Bookings are essential. Please visit the Deakin Rural Health accommodation page to see if this is available to you, noting not all students are eligible, accommodation is limited, and availability cannot be guaranteed until full payment is received.
Rent a room
If you are looking for something a bit cheaper and do not require a full house to yourself, Portland District Health has some staff members who rent rooms in their own private homes.
Motels, caravan parks and B&B
