SimVan

The SimVan began as a Department of Health and Human Services funded project, aimed at providing simulation based education to health services and community organisations across the Grampians region that were previously isolated from such training opportunities due to factors such as distance and cost.

Since it’s first simulation learning event in 2013, the SimVan has become an essential part of the Grampians Health Ballarat Centre of Education and Training, continuing to provide simulation education to learners across the region.

Simulation based education has been known to:

• Improve staff and patient safety
• Improve quality of care and outcomes
• Improve interpersonal interactions between staff and patients/residents/customers
• Improve technical skills
• Reduce errors and near misses in the workplace
• Aid staff in meeting accreditation training requirements

The SimVan can deliver education throughout the Grampians region and beyond.

Our Subscription pricing structure is set up in zones, which include travel allowances in all costings.
