Health Minister Greg Hunt has announced up to $1 million funding for the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) to provide a free online refresher course for Registered Nurses to re-enter the workforce and help with the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The course will be available immediately to eligible registered nurses who hold current general registration and who meet the recency of Practice Registration Standard of 450 hours practice within the last five years.
It is expected up to 1,000 nurses will be able to undertake the training. Check it out at acn.edu.au/refresher.
