**About the Work Area
The Discipline of Nursing is situated within the College of Science, Health, Engineering and

Education (SHEE) and was first established in 2004 at our regional Mandurah campus

(70km from the CBD) to service the needs of communities in Perth's rapidly growing

South-Western corridor. Enrolments grew significantly in following years and the Discipline

expanded to the Perth campus in 2016. The Discipline currently has more than 1500

students over both campuses, who are predominantly serviced by the Bachelor of Nursing

program. Postgraduate programs are also growing, with offerings in Health Care

Management and a joint MBA, Gerontological Healthcare, Research Training and Higher

Degrees by Research. The Nursing Team is a highly motivated, innovative, and cohesive

academic group, whose track record in the delivery of quality teaching and Nursing

research is evidenced by 10 of our 22 academics having each won either, or in

combination, national, state, university and industry teaching, research, and nursing

excellence awards over the last 4 years. We are also rated well above the national average

in the Quality Indicators for Learning & Teaching (QILT) Surveys for teaching practices,

resources, skills development, and overall satisfaction, and have received 5 stars for

Student Support in the Good Universities Guide. MU Nursing also has strong clinical

partnerships across a wide range of areas throughout the state, along with national and

international research collaborations, through which we aim to provide high quality

scholarship and learning experiences for our students.
