Communications & Social Media

 Check the website of your mobile phone carrier to see if you will have mobile phone coverage when travelling to the venue and whilst staying in the town.

 Is internet available at your accommodation? Are there other options? (University accommodation has wifi available).

Local social media sites can be a great source of information on things to do and see or to find out about local community events. Remember:

 Rural & remote communities are small and photos, incidents, romances or general comments made on social media can easily be linked back to a confidential patient/event by a community

 Share photos & stories with the Rural & Remote Health SA team

 Familiarise yourself with your university social media policy and take care to maintain privacy of colleagues, clients & workplaces.

 Follow Flinders University Rural & Remote Health SA on Facebook

 If using Rural & Remote Health SA accommodation – have you booked it?

 Have you confirmed your arrival date with the accommodation?

 The accommodation team will advise what you need to bring with you (eg towels, food). Ensure those items are in the car when you leave!

See page 18 for further information on the student accommodation.
