The Northam RCSWA student residence is located adjacent to the Northam Country Club, the local hub for golf, tennis and squash. It is a short distance from the Northam Recreation Centre which is home to netball, basketball, football and indoor hockey. The Northam Aquatic Facility neighbours the recreation centre and is popular during our warm summer months.

The house is a fully furnished four-bedroom, two-bathroom property with an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge, along with access to WIFI. The house has a welcoming garden and a small secluded outdoor area with BBQ and outdoor setting. Parking is available for four vehicles at the house and there are bikes available for recreational use.

Northam is well served by medical services and the RCSWA has a close working relationship with Northam Family Practice and Grey Street Surgery, who are actively involved with the teaching of our medical students.

The Northam Health Campus contains an emergency department, medical ward, two theatres, midwifery group practice, cancer care, palliative care, medical imaging, pathology services, and outpatient department. Population health services are provided by Avon and Central Wheatbelt Primary Health Service.
