**About Monash Simulation**

Monash Simulation was one of the first simulation facilities established in the Southern Hemisphere and has a reputation as an influential and innovative centre. In 2017, a major refurbishment and extension of the facility was undertaken to include additional simulation and clinical skills rooms. Over many years, Monash Simulation has made major contributions to patient safety and has established the value of simulation through improving the technical and teamwork skills of healthcare professionals, as well as in-situ testing of medical protocols, systems and environments. The Centre is renowned for its simulation instructor training and runs an extensive suite of education programs. Monash Simulation delivers courses for health professionals across every level of experience and is fortunate to have a team of simulation instructors that are dedicated and highly trained, many of whom have formal higher qualifications in simulation education.
