The Grampians Health Ballarat Registered Nurse Refresher Program enables participants to either re-enter the workforce, or change their area of practice, by providing structured education and clinical exposure to update knowledge and skills, and re-establish and enhance your confidence to practice. 

Participants will undertake:

  • An educational development program for a period of two weeks (4 days per week), incorporating intensive clinical simulation to update skills and knowledge.
  • A further 6 weeks of supported practice with supernumerary shifts across acute clinical areas.
  • A Clinical Support Nurse will work across the organisation offering supervision and support to all Refresher Nurses.
  • Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be eligible to apply for employment at Grampians Health Ballarat.

Existing Grampians Health Ballarat employees who wish to upskill or change work areas are encouraged to apply for the program, however you must hold a current AHPRA (Registered Nurse, Enrolled Nurse, Registered Midwife) registration.
