Training Tomorrow's Doctors

At Reliance Care Medical Centre, we're proud to be an accredited training practice for medical students from two of Australia's leading healthcare institutions.

Our Training Partnerships

We are trusted partners of:

  • University of Melbourne – Training medical students in general practice and primary care

Each year, we host approximately 18 medical students who gain valuable hands-on experience in our clinic under the supervision of our experienced GPs.

Why This Matters to Our Community

Training medical students at our clinic brings significant benefits to Truganina and the wider Western Melbourne community:

  • Increased access to care – More hands mean more patients can be seen
  • Fresh perspectives – Students bring the latest medical knowledge and approaches
  • Future workforce – Many students return to practice in the communities where they trained
  • Quality assurance – Teaching practices maintain high standards of care

Our students gain exposure to:

  • Diverse patient populations and multicultural healthcare
  • Chronic disease management in a community setting
  • Allied health integration and multidisciplinary care

Addressing Community Health Needs

Through our training program, we also help raise awareness about important health issues affecting our community, including:
