Do you feel like your PHN’s news and projects aren’t reaching all of the nurses in your catchment? APNA reaches more than 24,000 nurses across the country weekly. Email, print, video, podcast, social media – these are just a couple of the channels we use to regularly engage and educate thousands of nurses across Australia.

Tailored Nursing Programs 

APNA understands that each PHN is different due to varying health priority areas and workforce challenges. Depending on what you need, APNA can tailor a program to suit your PHN. For example, we have delivered webinars on local health needs, provided mentoring and education to new nurses, and have plenty of additional resources and tools for your PHN to get the most out of your health care workforce.
