Join TROHPIQ on September 20 for the annual whale watching and K’gari trip, hosted by Tasman Venture!

The day is filled to the brim with sunshine, whale watching on the catamaran and exploring the western coast of K’gari. Your ticket will include a range of activities such as kayaking and snorkeling, as well as morning tea and a buffet lunch - all you need is your sunscreen, swimmers, towel and camera!

The catamaran also has a fully licensed bar, snacks and souvenirs on board should you wish to purchase these.

The catamaran has a maximum capacity, so to avoid missing out, make sure you get tickets early.

Ticket prices will be $75 for students and $100 for non-students, which is very generously subsidised by TROHPIQ and the Fraser Coast Regional Council (regular cost is $259 pp). Partners welcome!

Tickets must be paid by Friday September 4, as set by Tasman Adventures.

Looking forward to seeing everyone for an incredible day

Careers in Rural Health Night 2026 🌾🩺

What a night!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s Careers in Rural Health Night! It was fantastic to bring together students and professionals from across a range of health disciplines to explore what a career in rural and regional healthcare can offer.

We were incredibly fortunate to hear from an amazing multidisciplinary panel who shared their experiences, challenges, career journeys and insights into working within rural communities. From the panel discussion and audience Q&A to conversations during networking, it was great to see so many students engaging with rural health and learning directly from professionals who have experienced it firsthand.

A massive thank you to all of our speakers for generously giving their time and sharing their knowledge with us, and to everyone who came along and helped make the night such a success!

We hope the evening left students with a greater understanding of rural and regional healthcare and a positive outlook on the opportunities, experiences and impact that a future career in rural health can offer! 🌾🩺

And if you enjoyed Careers in Rural Health Night, there’s plenty more to come from TROHPIQ this year, so keep an eye on our socials and get keen for what’s next! 👀
