From the First Nations caregivers who healed, birthed and nursed for millennia to the untrained and ill-equipped convict men and women who cared for the sick in the fledgling colony of New South Wales, nursing has been practised in Australia since the beginning.

Join author Deborah Burrows, Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward FACN (Chief Executive Officer, Australian College of Nursing) and Marni Tuala (New South Wales Director and Deputy President, Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives) for the launch of this new book providing insight into one of Australia’s most trusted professions: nursing.
