Resilient Nurses, Healthy Children, Thriving Planet: A Retreat for Nurses Who Care for Children
Join us for a unique experience at the Kings Park Education Centre designed especially for nurses who care for children, young people and their families.
With a focus on sustainability and our deep connection to the natural world, this retreat honours the vital role nurses play in fostering resilient communities and a thriving future.
Step away from the demands of daily practice. Reconnect with purpose.
Together, we care for children. Together, we care for the planet.
