There remain few autonomous organisations devoted exclusively to nurse education. There is an increasing need for an organisation to be established which can address and evaluate new curricula, new governmental policy and other contemporary changes that have swept through.

Perhaps the most attractive feature of this Society is that it is serious about helping all Australian Nurses who teach. We provide open days and education forums, research and study grants, support for conference attendance and the opportunity to meet and network with other teachers.

In addition to this the Society provides reports on policy documents and curricula.
