Nurses, midwives and paramedics are there for us when we need it the most. They help us keep our health on track, provide critical care and even save lives. With a career on the health care frontlines, you’ll have the power to improve the wellbeing of others and be there to provide vital care to the most vulnerable people in the community.

 

Study overseas

During your course, you’ll have the opportunity to experience nursing and midwifery overseas. Our short-term international study programs can take you to Timor Leste, Vanuatu, the USA, Singapore, Chile and many more destinations, where you’ll study at a partner university or put your skills into practice at local health clinics. Plus, you can choose to study at our Rome Campus.

 

Work experience

Go beyond the classroom with hands-on work experience. Our nurses and midwives will gain 800 hours of clinical practice by the time they graduate, working in placements with our industry partners such as aged care and mental health facilities, and leading hospitals. Midwifery students will also have the opportunity to engage with at least 10 women to follow their pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal-care journey. Our paramedicine students will undertake a minimum of 360 hours of clinical practice within and emergency or simulated emergency setting.
