The Regional Victorian Institute of Simulation Education (ReVISE) provides a safe learning environment to deliver simulation-based training that improves patient care and safety. Our simulation programs can be tailored to students and clinicians across disciplines and career stages.
Based at the Geelong Clinical School, we also run existing national and international programs such as E-MET and BASIC. We aim to optimise health education and provide innovative teaching that promotes community, including rural and regional engagement.
We bridge the gap between classroom training and real-world clinical experiences. We currently provide programs targeted at all levels of training in the areas of:
Healthcare simulation replicates clinical scenarios so trainees can gain experience recognising and treating medical conditions. It allows clinicians and students from various disciplines to practise procedures, refine communication techniques and undertake multidisciplinary teamwork training. ReVISE provides a risk-free learning environment, where you can learn without the potential to cause patient harm.
When you study at Deakin, you’ll learn in purpose-built simulated environments and have access to cutting-edge technology. Graduate with the confidence and hands-on experience to build a successful career in healthcare.
Thanks to everyone for their hard work in organising the Trauma Supersession. It really highlighted the importance of communication and to constantly reassess the situation.

Our programs provide a supportive environment for you to advance your skills across a range of clinal skills.
In our Introduction to Simulation Facilitation, Debriefing Skills and Simulation Familiarisation program, we cover learning in a simulation environment. We cover debriefing, manikin and technology familiarisation and how to run scenarios.
Paediatric SimCom is an innovative program for advanced learners. It combines communication training around paediatric goals, specifically caring for children with life-limiting conditions, with resuscitation training. It prepares trainees to respond to dynamic clinical and family environments.
Year 3 and 4 medical students at the Geelong Clinical School are exposed to a series of structured tutorials and simulated activities targeted at the identification and management of deteriorating patients.
This innovative Pre-internship Simulation Program brings together volunteer simulated patients and experienced clinical tutors to create a hospital simulation experience for final year medical students.
This unique model of large-scale simulation education allows 35-40 anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine trainees to engage in team-based learning. Nursing staff from these areas are also encouraged to attend.
We deliver Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advance Life Support (ALS) refresher courses, as well as developing programs that are specific to areas or disciplines. For example, a radiology BLS and ALS simulation program was designed to diagnose and treat common radiological emergencies.
ReVISE and the Geelong Clinical School Research Group bring together researchers across health education fields to collaborate and investigate better ways to train the health professionals of the future.
I can with confidence absolutely claim this has been the best run ALS2 course provider that I have experienced.
Mr Audas Grant
Australian Resuscitation Council accredited ALS2 Course Director
Our two-day Advanced Life Support Level 2 (ALS2) course is internationally accredited by the Australian Resuscitation Council. The course was developed to standardise the teaching of cardiac arrest and resuscitation management. It consists of lectures, practical workshops and cardiac arrest scenarios, providing the opportunity to practice skills and apply knowledge. The program emphasises the importance of teamwork prior to safe transfer into a critical care environment.
At ReVISE, we specialise in the design, implementation and facilitation of bespoke interprofessional and interdepartmental simulation programs. Our team has successfully designed and implemented simulation programs that replicate clinical environments and are cross medical and healthcare professions. Our programs have a quality and safety/systems-based focus. We have worked with departments including paediatrics, neonates, ICU, ED and theatre. We have also designed training days and regular updates for learners that range from internship to consultant-level learners.
If your department or team would be interested in discussing your simulation requirements, please submit an expression of interest.
Our team of experienced and passionate practitioners will ensure that you are fully supported as you learn new skills or advance your knowledge in the healthcare industry.
