Gippsland Medical School has now graduated two cohorts of medical students who have begun their careers as junior doctors. The students were issued a laptop for the duration of their course which they have since returned. So Gippsland Medical School found itself with many surplus laptops.

We decided to donate them to various local community agencies. These agencies also form part of the teaching program known as our Community-Based Practice Program. The program enables students to work with and across rural community agencies to learn more about their local communities and the kinds of services offered and needed in a rural environment. Many of the agencies have expressed an interest in receiving some laptops and we are in the process of organising their distribution on an equitable basis to those agencies.
