Student Series: "Get yourself out there!” – Dr Liam Halford’s advice for going rural

From playing gigs in pubs to delivering babies in the Outback,
Liam Halford’s journey to medicine was anything but typical.
Growing up in Gawler, South Australia, with no family history in
medicine, Liam discovered his passion for rural healthcare
through placements in Maleny and Broken Hill. He shares how
hands-on experiences, tight-knit communities, and unexpected
adventures — including ambulance rides and camel races — shaped
his training and inspired a deep love for country medicine. His
story is a reminder of what’s possible when you step outside your
comfort zone.
