Build your confidence as a nurse or midwife in simulation centres
At our on-campus clinical simulation centres you'll use case-based scenarios that will become more complex as your degree progresses. You'll build skills that are essential for safe patient care, such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving and reflective practice skills.
Access the latest nursing facilities
Our Burwood facilities underwent a multi-million-dollar upgrade in 2022, including five new simulation wards, additional student practice spaces, treatment rooms and high-fidelity simulation spaces, meaning you'll have more access to facilities than ever before. You can also book the simulation centres outside of your classes to further practise your clinical skills.
