NURSING GUIDE
FIRST EDITION
,ENTRY TO NURSING 2026
A guide to early entry to university programs offered in Australia for students commencing
study in 2026. Created by Study Work Grow Pty Ltd in 2025.
VERSION 1
The programs in this guide may be subject to change at any time. In our experience, universities may
choose to change their entry requirements and processes and you should always check directly with
the university for the latest information. We have verified many of the programs directly with the
universities, and in some cases the information in this guide may differ from that published on the
university website or in their printed material.
As such, this is Version 1 of the Entry to Nursing Guide. We will continue to check with the universities
for any updates, and may release more versions throughout the year.
, THINKING ABOUT NURSING?
Nurses are some of our most essential
workers, and a career as a nurse will be
rewarding, challenging, and exciting.
Nurses are responsible for ongoing health
management of their patients, and they
work collaboratively with doctors to ensure
patients get the care they need.
Far from a 'back-up' career, nursing is a
profession in it's own right and will give you
the opportunity to expand your horizons and
build a deep skillset.
You'll need strong interpersonal skills,
patience and empathy, and resilience, as
well as academic skills and medical
knowledge.
In this guide, we've collected some of the
information you need to make a decision
about if a career in nursing is right for you.
If you want to take it further, you'll be able
to learn about pathways, registration, and
courses, and start to build a pathway to
nursing.
