Welcome to the Greater Green Triangle University Department of Rural Health

The Greater Green Triangle University Department of Rural Health (GGT UDRH) is a partnership between Flinders University and Deakin University.  The Department was established in 2000 and is supported by the Australian Government's UDRH, Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHCRED), Pharmacy Academics at UDRHs (PAUDRH), and UDRH Mental Health programs. 

The Department undertakes an integrated program of research, education and training in an effort to promote excellence in rural and remote health education, training and research, and to ensure practical outcomes and long-term benefits for the communities of the Greater Green Triangle region.  The Department's extensive research program includes a number of National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC)-funded projects. The most recent of these is the Mothers After Gestational Diabetes in Australia (MAGDA) study; Preventing Diabetes in Pregnancy from Progressing to Type 2 Diabetes, which is focussing on developing and implementing a system of care to reduce the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes in women who have had GDM.

Our website contains information about our Department, its research interests, current research projects, and our education, training and student programs. You can also read about our Latest News and Events, including the release of the new book "Deadly Healthcare".
