Adelaide Nursing School

Adelaide Nursing School brings together an energetic and enthusiastic group of nursing clinicians and academics, each dedicated to furthering nursing as a practice and discipline.

Our team works collaboratively across professions, with a range of stakeholders, and within a variety of clinical practice settings, at a state, national and international level.

Professor Frank Donnelly

Dean and head of school.

Professor Frank Donnelly

Associate Professor Frank Donnelly began his nursing career at the Royal Adelaide Hospital after graduation from the University of South Australia (Salisbury). After a stint in neurosurgical nursing Frank moved to work in Intensive Care, where he spent the majority of his clinical life.  After completing post graduate qualifications in ICU a shift in direction saw him move into nursing education, particularly clinical education. Further study and completion of a Master of Nursing, with a thesis examining the lived experience of a tracheostomy tube change, led Frank toward a PhD, a study which combined his primary interest in nursing knowledge and the role of clinical placement experiences. Frank is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK). In 2019 Frank was awarded The Stephen Cole the Elder Award for Excellence, the University of Adelaide’s premier learning and teaching award. This award recognises the University’s highest achievers in teaching, support of teaching, and supervisory practices.

A Diploma of Nursing course in Adelaide typically consists of 25 units, with 20 core units that remain consistent across all institutions, and 5 specialized units that may vary depending on the education provider.

Below are some examples of institutions in Adelaide that offer Diploma of Nursing programs.

How long is a Diploma of Nursing?

How much is a diploma in nursing.

The cost of a nursing diploma can vary greatly between institutions and across states. Due to the growing demand for health professionals, and in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, most state governments are offering substantial subsidies on nursing qualifications. In fact, in some states, you can even study a Diploma of Nursing absolutely free!

Unsubsidised, an enrolled nurse course would cost you anywhere between $15,000 – $35,000 – with universities tending to charge a higher fee, than RTO’s and TAFE. With the various subsidies available, you will find that in most states, you can study a diplom in nursing for less than $15,000, if not for free. Note, this obviously depends on the educator you choose.

What is the entry criteria for a nursing diploma?

The requirements for entering a Diploma of Nursing will vary by institution. However, there are some consistent admissions criteria set across most education providers.

  • You must be at least 17 years old when commencing, or be 18 when you graduate.
  • have successfuly completed Year 12, or equivalent, OR;
  • hold a relevant Certificate III or higher qualification, OR;
  • be 21 years or older (for students wanting to apply for mature age entry).
  • You must be eligible to obtain a Blue Card if required.
  • You must meet specific immunisation requirements (i.e. COVID-19).

English Language Standards To practice safely in Australia, nurses must have strong English language skills. It is essential that a nurse can communicate effectively with patients and other health professionals to ensure accurate information is conveyed and clear health records are kept. To demonstrate your proficiency with the English language, most education providers will ask you to either

  • Submit a declaration stating that your primary language is English, and that you have completed a minimum of 2 years between grades 7 and 12. This education must be completed in a country that natively speaks English, such as Australia, New Zealand, UK, USA etc.
  • Achieve the minimum English language standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) .

Selection Criteria

Some nursing institutions will only accept a limited number of students into their program each term or year. This means that it can get quite competitive amongst those wishing to gain entry to the most popular nursing courses. For this reason, although you may meet the entry criteria and language requirements for your chosen course, you must still be selected by the institution from the pool of applicants. Generally speaking, selection criteria is predominantly based on your academic performance (i.e. your ATAR score). With those scoring higher more likely to be selected for the program first.

Can you study a Diploma of Nursing online?

Traditionally, a nursing diploma is completed on-campus or in a workplace setting as part of mandatory placement. That said, more and more nursing educators are now offering a mixed format where students can study a portion of their Diploma of Nursing online. Unfortunately, there are no enrolled nursing courses that are 100% online, as it is a very practical course that requires field training and experience.

The Diploma of Nursing can be studied as a full-time or part-time course, although options for the latter are more limited.

Master of Nursing & Graduate Programs

If you’re a Registered Nurse looking to expand your knowledge and skills in a specific area of nursing, a Master of Nursing or Graduate Certificate in nursing may be the perfect next step for you. Studying a Master of Nursing or postgraduate qualification in Adelaide provides you with the opportunity to specialize in a particular area of nursing, such as aged care, paediatrics, critical care, mental health, or perioperative nursing. In addition to advanced education in a specific area of nursing, these programs also prepare you for leadership roles such as Nurse Educators, Nurse Practitioners, and Clinical Nurse Specialists.

There are several Master of Nursing degrees and Graduate Certificate courses available in Adelaide.

How long does the course take?

Most Master of Nursing degrees in Australia will take you 1.5 years of full-time or 3 years part-time to complete. However, some universities allow you to obtain your masters in as little as 1 year full-time or 1.5 years part-time.

How much does it cost?

In Australia, the total cost of a Master of Nursing can range anywhere between $5,000 and $65,000 for a domestic student, and can depend on a number of factors.

  • CSP Subsidies – If you are an Australian or New Zealand citizen, or an Australian permanent resident, then you most likely qualify for a governement subsidised program (Commonwealth Supported Place). This can reduce the tuition fee of a standard 1.5 year masters in nursing to as little as $6,000 – which is a considerable 70-80% discount! Unfortunately, not all universities offer CSPs (about half do) for their masters. So if price is an important factor in where you choose to study, be sure to check out which universities have CSP available first.
  • Institution – Although not always the case, prestigious universities (or those with a higher ranking) tend to charge a higher tuition fee for full-fee-paying students than smaller universities. For CSP students, the cost difference is quite negligible given the large subsidy each receive from the government.
  • Specialistion –  Certain specialisations, and/or subjects might cost you a little more than others. This varies greatly depending on the specific units you decide to study, each with a different price tag.
  • Program length – Some universities offer a 1-year Master of Nursing for registered nurses (RN) who have completed an honors year, or Graduate Certificate in Nursing. Reducing the number of units you need to study and pay for, by roughly a third. Similary, courses that support students without a Bachelor of Nursing will take longer, and cost more.

What are the entry requirements?

Although each university program has their own admissions criteria, typically you will be expected to demonstrate the following:

  • Completion of a bachelor’s degree in nursing or a postgraduate qualification in nursing (almost always required)
  • AHPRA registration as a Division 1 Registered Nurse (almost always required)
  • At least one-year of experience as a Registered Nurse (often required)

Note: You can still study a Master of Nursing without a Bachelor of Nursing. Some univerisities offer a specific ‘graduate entry’ program, than accept students who have completed any undergraduate degree. However, note that some of these don’t involve placement and therefore don’t provide you the practical skills needed to become a RN.

What will you learn?

Each Master of Nursing course consists of 12 units of study that are completed over several semesters. The program will often include both core and elective units, plus a capstone project or thesis.

Universities tend to provide their own unique selection of specialisations that you can major in. Each with their own corresponding core subject areas. In some cases, these may involve practical placement or a learning component within the work setting.

Nursing is a highly sought-after career in Adelaide, especially in the healthcare industry, due to a growing demand for qualified and experienced nurses.

Additionally, nursing offers a wealth of opportunities for personal and professional growth and development, including specializations in areas such as aged care, critical care, and mental health.

Jobs in Adelaide

Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, is a growing hub for healthcare and medical services, offering a wide range of job opportunities for nurses. As the population continues to age and healthcare needs increase, the demand for qualified nurses is on the rise. In fact, according to the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, the healthcare industry is projected to be the largest employer in South Australia by 2025, providing ample job opportunities for nurses in Adelaide.

One of the most significant employers of nurses in Adelaide is the public healthcare system, including the SA Health and the Women’s and Children’s Health Network. SA Health is the largest employer in South Australia and provides a range of job opportunities across its network of hospitals, community health centers, and mental health facilities.

Some of the largest private hospitals in Adelaide include Calvary Adelaide Hospital, Ashford Hospital, and Flinders Private Hospital. These hospitals provide a wide range of medical and surgical services, and have a need for nurses with a variety of skills and specialties.

Aged care facilities, including residential care and home care services, are also major employers of nurses in Adelaide.

Education is also a crucial component when it comes to nursing salaries in Adelaide.
