Northern Health’s ability to provide quality health services to the northern community now, and into the future, requires a significant investment in training.

More qualified health professionals will be needed to meet the demand for health services as the northern community grows.

The Teaching, Training and Research Precinct (TTRP) is a partnership between Northern Health, the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University and the State and Commonwealth governments. To be completed by 2013, the TTRP will enable us to train an additional 400+ health professionals. Our aim is to build an innovative TTRP of the highest quality that will attract doctors, nurses and allied health staff who come to learn, and choose to stay within the northern community.

The research that will be undertaken at the TTRP research facilities will bring lasting benefits to the northern community, as medical conditions directly affecting the local population are investigated and addressed by researchers working locally.
