Australia's ageing population needs a strong nursing workforce. Clinical placements play a critical role in introducing nursing students to the opportunities and challenges of aged care nursing.

Through APNA's Aged Care Nursing Clinical Placements Program, students gain real-world experience, build confidence in caring for older people and develop a deeper understanding of the vital role nurses play across the aged care sector.

These experiences don't just support student learning. They help attract the next generation of nurses to aged care.

What if your nursing career took you beyond the hospital?

Primary health care nurses work in diverse settings, from general practice and schools to aged care, correctional facilities and remote communities.

Working where people live, learn and work gives nurses the opportunity to make a real difference in their communities and explore a rewarding career beyond acute care.
