Primary health care is any medical service that is provided outside the four walls of a hospital, including aged care, community health, general practice, custodial, schools and many other primary health care settings. Australia's 98,000+ primary health care nurses play a critical role in disease prevention and control to keep people healthy. They provide proactive care and health promotion to keep Australians well.
With Australia’s aging population and declining health, it is vital that we have a strong and accessible primary health care system that keeps people well and out of hospital. However, there are serious workforce shortages in primary health, including aged care.
Historically, it was challenging for universities and tertiary education providers to arrange placements for student nurses in primary health care. But then the APNA's Clinical Placement Programs came along.
APNA champions the role of primary health care nurses and shines a light on primary health care and aged care for student nurses considering which career path to choose upon graduating.
We work closely with education providers such as yours to provide high-quality placements with clear learning outcomes and expert supervision from experienced primary health care nurses.
With your support, we can future-proof the primary health care nursing workforce.
