Life – it’s the journey we’re all on. And there are a special few who choose to help others on that journey. From the midwives with us at the very start, to the nurses caring for us as we grow, mature, and age. It takes a special kind of person to dedicate their life to helping others. You can be one of them.
You’re in safe hands. With over 40 years’ experience in nursing education, and more than 10,000 nursing graduates, we’re leaders in rural and regional nursing education.

Or further your nursing career with a specialisation in aged care, rural and remote nursing, clinical education, or leadership and management. So your career can reflect your interests.

Helping older adults thrive is uniquely satisfying. Gain skills and knowledge to work across health, wellbeing, community and residential care settings. So you can help older people – and their families – make the best decisions for their health and wellbeing.
Take the next step in your career: explore nursing leadership. Inspire your team and empower them to be their best. Make every patient's experience positive. Bring all the aspects of running a healthcare department together under your guidance. And find your unique nurse leadership style.
Giving birth is such a unique experience. As a midwife, you get to share the excitement. Provide reassurance. And deliver exceptional patient care, before, during and after the birth. Study midwifery and gain all the skills for midwifery practice – and be part of something amazing.
As a nurse, you are there when people go through profound experiences: a serious disease, an injury, the moment of birth, the end of life. The challenges and rewards when you become a nurse are unique. Use your skills, knowledge, compassion and empathy to help people when they need it most.
No one should struggle to get the care they need. Rural and remote nursing gives you the opportunity to help ensure everyone has access to health services. Work at the heart of your community – and close the gap in healthcare equity for those in remote and rural Australia.
