Graduate Diploma of Health (Neonatal Care)

This course is aimed at Registered Nurses and Midwives who are currently working in, or would like to work in, a Special Care Nursery environment, as well as:

• Registered Nurses working in smaller, mostly rural hospitals who provide backup for midwives in birth suite when caring for compromised newborns, or
• Registered midwives wanting to refresh their knowledge in caring for the compromised newborn.

This course therefore aims to equip nurses and midwives, some of whom are relatively isolated, with the knowledge and skills to care for unwell neonates in the Special Care Nursery environment, provide initial supportive care to unwell neonates or ongoing care to neonates with mild transient health issues.

This course is only offered part-time (duration is 2 years). A graduate certificate is available upon exiting the course.
