Career Pathways Communications Toolkit

The Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) needs your support as we expand our clinical placement programs.

We are currently looking for workplaces to host student nurses in aged care and primary health care settings.

The toolkit is designed to provide you with suggested content to share via your organisation's communications channels. You can share it with your communications team or ask us to brief them on your behalf.  

The content on this page will be updated regularly to reflect our current campaigns. 

If you have any questions about the toolkit or would like resources tailored for your organisation, please email our communications coordinator, Dani Neal. 

If you have any questions about the programs, please email our Placements team.
