Welcome to The Institute of Health and Nursing Australia (IHNA) - formerly known as the Victorian College of Health and Nursing – VCHN. This is a significant milestone reflecting our exponential curriculum development into Higher Education in Health and Nursing, and in terms of geographic expansion throughout Australia.

IHNA is an innovative Institute offering quality programs in Health and Nursing that are designed to provide optimal employment outcomes for its students in Australia's Health sector.

With the IHNA's Board of Studies guidance in conjunction with in-depth consideration of industry stakeholders needs, IHNA has structured its operations to ensure the achievement of excellence in course offerings to students.

The Board of Studies brings together business and health experts who oversee and advise the management and academic staff. The Board ensures that the programs remain relevant to the industry, meet the highest quality standards and, as a consequence, the students' high expectations.

Our work with industry stakeholders ensures the development of courses tailored for specific industry needs. As a consequence, we are progressively adding to our range of courses in health and nursing.

The Diploma of Nursing Program is a significant addition as are many new Professional Development courses. Further, the Return to Nursing course has been developed for students to conveniently study via e-learning. In all situations, from application to employment, these opportunities are fully complemented by one-one student-educator motivational support.

As we grow and develop we welcome our new students, staff and partners. Join us in building a better future not only for your own careers but also for the entire healthcare profession; competent and confident health care professionals - a significant contribution to the Australian Health Care Sector.
