Moree

Moree is packed with historic attractions and natural experiences to discover. Browse local boutiques, visit the regional art gallery, go fishing or sample some of the region’s specialty produce, including pecans, olives and wine.

Take a self-guided heritage walk through town, explore the spectacular Waa Gorge in Mount Kaputar National Park, or unwind in Moree’s famous artesian mineral baths.

Our Moree office is located within the Moree Education Centre, adjacent to Moree District Health Service. The centre provides a dedicated space for students to study, learn and connect, with learning resources and IT services provided by the University of Newcastle Department of Rural Health.

Student accommodation includes two-bedroom apartments, as well as single rooms with shared facilities in the Moree Hospital Nurses’ Quarters. We can assist allied health and nursing students with arranging accommodation, while medical students should contact the Administration Clerk at Moree District Hospital.

Both accommodation options are conveniently located close to the hospital and within walking distance of shops, medical centres and sporting facilities.

As a student with us, you’ll have opportunities to get involved in community engagement activities across Moree and the surrounding region.
