The Hubs are designed to create more opportunities for young doctors to stay, study, work and live in rural and regional Australia, rather than returning to cities for all of their postgraduate training. In our region, a Hub for North West Victoria will operate from Bendigo, provided by Monash University while a Hub for the Goulburn Valley will operate from Shepparton, provided by The University of Melbourne.
