Staff Development

Education Affiliations and Training

Continuing professional development is an essential element in ensuring that we have up-to-date skills and knowledge in order to perform our roles in a contemporary health care setting. Ongoing education is a career long process that enhances our personal and professional growth, improves our performance and keeps us relevant in an ever-changing environment.

The Border Cancer Hospital is committed to ensuring continuing professional development opportunities are available to staff through creating, promoting and supporting education in the following ways:

• Clinical School Partnership with La Trobe University
• Traineeship and apprenticeship opportunities
• Ramsay Healthcare as a registered training organisation delivers in-house programs to a nationally recognised Certificate IV level.
• Hosts undergraduate and post graduate nursing, medical and allied health students from tertiary institutions regionally
• Clinical and non-clinical competency programs are in place to support workplace practice
• Strong links have been established with local tertiary education providers such as Charles Sturt University, University of NSW, Wodonga Institute of TAFE and Riverina TAFE
