List of nursing schools in Australia

Australia has several different nursing schools. In Australia, a diploma or advanced diploma in nursing along with clinical experience is usually required to work as an enrolled nurse. A bachelor's degree in nursing is typically required to work as a registered nurse. Alternatively, a master's degree (graduate entry) can provide entry into the field as a registered nurse for people with a bachelor's degree in another field. In order to practice as a nurse practitioner, usually a master's degree in the field is required along with three years experience at the advanced nursing practice level. 34 out of 39 members of Universities Australia offer nursing qualifications; the exceptions are the Australian National University, Bond University, the University of Canberra, the University of New South Wales and the University of Western Australia which do not offer nursing degrees. TAFEs can also offer diplomas and advanced diplomas in nursing.
