About Us

The Public Health Student Society (PHSS) at Adelaide University is a faculty endorsed student organisation dedicated to making public health more social, accessible and engaging. We connect students, graduates and early-career professionals who share a passion for public health and advocacy. Our events are designed to bridge the gap between academic study and the real-world public health sector offering a supportive environment to learn, connect and grow.

Our recent events and activities have included:

  • A Climate Health event as part of Adelaide Climate Action Week, which involved expert guest speakers, a hands-on workshop, and networking
  • Club members assisting with the School of Public Health (SPH) booth at Open Day
  • Collaborating with organisations to prevent food wastage and combat food insecurity
  • Sharing opportunities forwarded to us from SPH and PHAA (Public Health Association of Australia) to our members (e.g. scholarships, free webinars, networking events)
  • Movie night at Union House Cinema in collaboration with the Film Society

Other future events we have planned include:

  • Interviewing public health experts on their domain of expertise
  • Volunteering day
  • Peer study groups around exam time, with senior students providing informal mentorship to more junior students
  • Picnics/Coffee - social hangouts with healthy snacks
