Support

To strengthen health outcomes through nursing, the DHHS continually strives to encourage innovative developments in nursing practice through research; by fostering collaborative arrangements with other members of the multidisciplinary healthcare team; and by supporting nurses' ongoing professional development.

This includes:

  • supportive practice environments for newly qualified registered and enrolled nurses
  • dedicated educational and clinical resources for nurses returning to practice after a career break
  • comprehensive orientation and induction to the practice area to suit your individual needs
  • ongoing professional development incentives and opportunities, including post-graduate study and a generous post-graduate qualifications allowance
  • career pathways and an established nursing career structure based on merit

Nursing practice within the Tasmanian health care system continues to advance with nurses’ roles developing in new directions, enhancing the profession and the quality of health care provision in Tasmania.
