School of Nursing and Midwifery
We have a proud history as one of the early pioneers in nursing education in Australia. Our origins trace back to the College of Nursing, now the Royal College of Nursing Australia, founded in 1948. Nursing and midwifery are global occupations and our courses address national and international contexts.
We aim to develop graduates who are professional, caring and competent in contemporary nursing and midwifery practice. You will receive practical training in our clinical schools in large metropolitan and regional hospitals and in a broad range of community and mental health settings.
