Postgraduate studies
Nursing Education has strong relationships with a number of leading universities in Australia.
Postgraduate study is encouraged at Alfred Health, and staff are supported through the provision of a range of postgraduate scholarships, Nurse Educator support, professorial academic support from La Trobe and the support of a Clinical Chair in Nursing (a joint appointment with Deakin University).
The Deakin/Alfred Nursing Research Centre is a collaborative partnership with the School of Nursing, Deakin University, which provides opportunities to inform nursing practice through research. In addition, nurses can pursue further studies in research by undertaking the Bachelor of Nursing (Honours) degree, Master of Nursing and PhD. Scholarships are available to support nurses to undertake these studies.

Scholarships are available to support staff members to undertake studies in these areas.
