Overview
Overview
The Child and Adolescent Health Nursing specialisation is available to study as a graduate certificate and as part of the Master of Advanced Practice. It is suitable for registered nurses who are interested in the design and implementation of early-intervention strategies at the individual, family and community level.
Key components include:
- child and adolescent health within the collaborative primary healthcare framework, and best practice sociocultural health support
- physical and psychosocial development of children aged 0 to 18 years within family, education and community environments
- applying the evidence-based community models of healthcare planning and clinical decision-making.
Your learning will be consolidated with a clinical placement that includes interprofessional learning and collaboration. Before your clinical placement, you’ll complete a five-day pre-clinical skills workshop at Curtin Perth.¹
The Child and Adolescent Health Nursing specialisation is offered as an online course studied on a part-time basis only. We recommend that you study one or two units per semester.
See our handbook for more course information.
¹ There are no fees for this workshop. Students travelling to Perth to complete the workshop must arrange (and fund) their travel and accommodation.
