Overview
The Child and Family Health Nursing specialisation is for registered nurses who are interested in undertaking a beginner-level specialised practice in child, adolescent and family health nursing in the community. It prepares them to work in community child and family health nursing services. This program offers a special focus on the early years but also covers middle childhood and adolescent health.
The flexible curriculum accommodates the needs of graduate nurses to work within the primary health care framework for new public health systems. The course is acknowledged by the health division of the Children, Youth and Women's Health Services (CYWHS) in South Australia and similar interstate services as appropriate preparation for employment.
The specialisation has a substantial clinical practice component and prospective applicants are encouraged to seek advice from the coordinator concerning contact hours.
All students must provide the required documentation, as detailed in the documentation available for download under the 'Entry requirements - Additional requirements' section of this page.
