Career Pathways Communications Toolkit

The Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) needs your support as we grow our clinical placement programs. We are currently looking for workplaces to host student nurses in aged care and primary health care settings. We've put together this toolkit for nurses, employers and organisations such as Primary Health Networks to help you help us reach as many workplaces as possible! The content on this page will be updated regularly to reflect our current campaigns. 

If you have questions about the toolkit or would like resources tailored to your organisation, please email our communications team.

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

National Nursing Clinical Placements Program

Newsletter/Website 

Hosting a student nurse in your workplace is easier than you think.

With APNA's National Nursing Clinical Placement Program, the process is as simple as possible. 

• We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
• We offer expert training and support every step of the way.
• Based on your workplace's requirements, we match you with the right student at the right time.

This leaves you to focus on your patients and sharing your passion for primary health care with the next generation of nurses. 

In return for your support, you will gain valuable mentoring and leadership experience, and we will pay your workplace for each placement.

And with students returning to work with their hosts after graduating, you might find your next superstar employee!
