Nursing graduate's previous knowledge and life experience recognised
The opportunity of adult education has given me the skills, knowledge and qualifications I need to gain employment as an endorsed enrolled nurse.
Southbank Institute has valued me as an individual with previous knowledge and life experience.
The institute lecturers and staff have been dedicated, available and supportive throughout my study. This education experience has been interactive, interesting and rewarding.

Diploma of Nursing graduate
In response to new government initiatives and industry imperatives, we have customised programs across all study areas. In particular, we have provided new training opportunities in biotechnology, lab technology, occupational health and safety, aged care, massage therapies and fitness. The development of newly endorsed training packages has meant that we have the platform to help grow new opportunities and new markets in the health industry.
Our faculty has always valued strategic alliances with industry groups to keep abreast of the changing training market. These alliances, along with our purpose-built training facilities and qualified, industry-experienced lecturers, are a winning formula for success for you, our students.
