Free course for registered nurses in aged care valued at $2,500.

The Gerontological Nursing Competencies (GNC) courses equip registered nurses in aged care with skills to assist older people in living well, through two sequential six-month courses. By the end of the course, participating nurses develop a comprehensive portfolio demonstrating their capabilities as gerontological nursing specialists.

Eligible registered nurses can access this course for FREE (valued at $2,500) - thanks to funding from the Australian Government’s Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (eligibility criteria apply).

Participating nurses will receive recognition of prior learning equivalent to one postgraduate subject for each course completed in the two-course GNC program. This can be applied to gerontological postgraduate courses such as UniSC’s Graduate Certificate in Gerontology or Master of Nursing (Clinical Leadership).

Enrolments are currently open for Wednesday, 7 October 2026.
