If you’re imagining a life outside the capital cities, it makes sense to pick a career with lots of opportunities. But what jobs are in demand in regional Australia? We've rounded up three trends to keep your eye on.
A perfect fit
When you study health sciences at ACU, you become part of a community. Their campuses and classes are the perfect size, your lecturers will know your name, and you’ll make great friends and build strong networks. Plus, they offer a huge range of support services to help you thrive.
Speech pathology at ACU
