They took part under the auspices of their employers and were from Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania. The ACCPA ACTTP graduates include 75 RNs who took part in the program over the past year, and 10 transitioning RNs who joined the program for six months from other nursing fields to move into aged care. The program is open to new RNs, new enrolled nurses and experienced RNs who are new to aged care. ACCPA along with the University of Wollongong and the Australian College of Nursing won the tenders to deliver the Aged Care Transition to Practice Program across the country. The government-funded program provides aged care nurses with mentoring, training and support in a bid to retain them in the sector. A total of 85 registered nurses have graduated in the first intake of Aged & Community Care Providers Association’s graduate nurse transition-to-practice program.
