**About Monash Simulation**

Monash Simulation delivers a wide range of simulation for health professionals at all levels (in-situ and Centre

The Centre, located in Moorabbin, has recently been extensively renovated and now includes two high fidelity simulation suites, as well as multiple debriefing and skills rooms and has the capacity to run high level complex inter-professional or simulation education courses.

Following an organisational restructure, we are now rebuilding our service to better support our medical, nursing and allied health cohorts and ensure we deliver best practice training and development to our frontline clinical teams. As part of our journey, we’re now looking for a passionate and committed professional instructor to assist our pursuit of excellence in the simulation field.
