About this course

The Graduate Certificate in Paediatric Nursing will enable registered nurses to develop advanced knowledge and specialist skills in the paediatric nursing environment.

Please note that successful completion of this program does not lead to eligibility to apply for registration as a nurse. Prospective students seeking eligibility to apply for registration should refer to the Bachelor of Nursing.

Entry requirements

To be eligible for admission to the Graduate Certificate in Paediatric Nursing, applicants will require the following:

  • hold a Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent degree from a recognised University (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing) AND
  • current or temporary unrestricted registration as a nurse with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
