The School of Nursing and Midwifery is dedicated to providing local, rural and international communities with health care professionals who have learnt to think critically, practice safely, ethically and compassionately, and use research as a basis for decision-making. Our programs in nursing and midwifery are practice-focused, and appeal to students from all walks of life, and at all ages. Our flexible options help students to combine work and family responsibilities with study, and are very attractive for rural people who don’t want to move away from their communities.
