Did you know that the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (Tasmanian Branch) also run an education facility? The Health Education and Research Centre (HERC) is located next to the ANMF main office in Hobart. Together we provide nurses, midwives and care workers with access to quality education and continued professional development (CPD). So, whether you thinking of starting out in nursing or midwifery, or are a seasoned healthcare professional seeking ongoing education, HERC study options are for you.
HERC
Studying nursing opens the door to a broad range of career opportunities, allowing graduates to work in a variety of exciting and challenging areas. HERC’s nationally accredited training provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to kick-start their career in the health industry. Visit the HERC site to learn more about what courses and opportunities are on offer.
Continued Professional Development
The ANMF Tasmanian Branch and HERC have joined forces to provide members and non-members with access to a range of face-to-face continued professional development (CPD) education opportunities. These sessions are delivered in person by registered nurses and industry professionals with an extensive range of knowledge and experience. Whether you are a nurse, midwife or care worker, from a public, private or community healthcare setting, our sessions are sure to meet your needs.
Online Training
If you prefer the convenience of online learning in your own time, we support that too. The ANMF Tasmanian Branch, in partnership with our Federal office, offer online continued professional development courses. With a great range of free and discounted workshops available, it has never been so easy to manage and maintain your nursing requirements.
- CPD Requirement Overview
As a condition of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) all nurses and midwives agree they:
“will maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge, expertise and competence, and develop the personal and professional qualities required throughout their professional lives.”
Professional Development is one-way nurses and midwives are able to maintain knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for the provision of safe and competent nursing care. It is the responsibility of each nurse and midwife to ensure they are able to comply with their relevant professional standards and competency, which is difficult given the ever changing context in which they work.
