Hobart Private Hospital to End Maternity Services
The ANMF Tasmanian Branch is deeply disappointed by Healthscope’s decision to end maternity services at the Hobart Private Hospital, further limiting birthing options for women in Southern Tasmania. This follows similar closures in the Northern Territory. The ANMF is engaging with the Department of Health and hospital management to support affected midwives and ensure alternative care pathways for expectant mothers. Read the full media release.

HERC is pleased to offer the HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing that commenced in September 2024. This qualification reflects the role of enrolled nurses with advanced skills who work in a specialised area of nursing practice under the direct or indirect supervision of a registered nurse. Enrolled nurses integrate and adapt specialised, technical and theoretical knowledge to address a diverse range of clinical situations and challenges in their area of specialisation. They
contribute to the continuous improvement of clinical practice using research and participation in broader organisational quality processes. Enrolled nurses retain responsibility for their own actions while remaining accountable to the registered nurse for all delegated functions. State Government funding may be available to eligible learners.
Enrolments for our HLT64121 Advanced Diploma of Nursing – Acute Care Stream are now open!
