Why were the Awards created?
The awards program was created by Deakin University School of Nursing in 2006, in recognition and acknowledgement of the rich contribution that leadership in nursing offers at all levels of Australia’s health system.
May I apply?
You are eligible to apply if you are currently registered with the Nurses Board of Victoria as a Division 1 Nurse/Midwife (including Division 3 and 4). The awards are open to nurses in all health care settings, whether in public or private health care sectors, acute, aged care or community settings.
Who is responsible for the Leadership in Nursing and Midwifery Awards presented by Deakin University and Health Super?
Deakin University offers these annual awards in partnership with Health Super. Many of the awards program sponsors are drawn from its formal and informal links with health care services. These awards reflect the strength of these partnerships, most of which have been formally in place since 1995 as part of the School of Nursing Clinical Partnership Program. Other sponsors reflect community and industry commitment to the Australian health care system and a confidence in the strategic role that nurses play in its ongoing development.
