School resources

Here at the School of Nursing & Midwifery, our staff are fully committed to supporting you. Below, we have gathered some useful resources but if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to make an appointment with a member of the School of Nursing & Midwifery.

  • Calendars

  • Bachelor of Nursing (Enrolled Nurse Articulation Pathway)

  • Professional Practice

    Students at the University of Notre Dame, Australia, undertake extensive professional practice in a variety of clinical settings throughout the EN-BN program. This equates to a 4-to-6-week placement twice a year. Placements are full-time and shifts work to cover the am, pm, and night shifts across the seven-day week.

    Placements will generally be in the Kimberley area. This provides students with a ‘reality of practice’ to work as a registered nurse in the health care team. The nursing staff in the work area and the university clinical supervisor support students throughout their placement. Visit the SONIA Noticeboard.

    The Professional Practice Team

    The primary role of the Professional Practice Team is to place and manage undergraduate nursing students during their professional practice. If you have any questions, please contact Tamara Fairweather. If she is unable to assist you, she will transfer your call to the appropriate person.

    Any enquiries about the nursing program should be directed to the UNDA prospective student’s office.

  • Skills block

    All nursing programs in Broome require 1 week per semester (except Semester 6) of in-person attendance on campus for compulsory skills blocks.

    Students will be required to self-fund the travel, meals and accommodation expenses associated with this. Broome campus offers heavily subsidised accommodation options.

    Scholarship options are available to assist with attendance at Skills blocks. Find out more about scholarships.

  • Aboriginal Students and Away from Base (AFB) Funding

    Students who are eligible for Abstudy can access Away From Base funding to assist with the cost of tuition, travel, accommodation, incidental and meal expenses associated with their nursing course in Broome.

    Students are encouraged to access the UNDA Aboriginal Student Support page and engage with the Indigenous Support officer

    The requirement to live rural or remote (i.e. outside a metropolitan area) and away from base (i.e. outside of Broome) are prerequisites for AFB funding. Please speak with an Indigenous Support Officer.

    Find an Indigenous-specific scholarship on Find a scholarship or learn more about our support and services on our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students page.
