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

To be eligible for admission to the Graduate Certificate in Paediatric Nursing, applicants will require the following:
Degrees from overseas institutions must be assessed as equivalent to a recognised Australian Bachelor-level degree.
The School of Nursing and Midwifery has instituted a Recognition of Prior Experience (RPE) procedure for registered nurses who do not have an undergraduate qualification. Applicants will be assessed on their ability to demonstrate eligibility requirements.
