IHNA prides itself on the high calibre of its management, teaching and administrative staff.
IHNA has well qualified, experienced, enthusiastic and dedicated staff to ensure the smooth and appropriate functioning of the College. Strong financial and student management are key determinants of the success or failure of any teaching establishment.
IHNA educators are highly qualified, not just as educators but also as motivators. They all have significant practical experience in Australian hospitals and overseas which comes to life in the theoretical and practical elements of the courses. Each has a unique ability to ‘tune in’ to individual students and, as a consequence recognize potential limitations and strengths, thus enabling them to bring the best out of students so that they are optimally ready for the position of their choice in the health care sector.
Similarly the friendly and approachable administrative staff supporting IHNA operations are highly qualified and have a wealth of relevant experience.

How to attract, recruit and maintain a dedicated skilled and loyal workforce in the health sector (Aged Care)
This seminar is based on research from a recent royal commission report into the aged care sector and a workforce strategy that followed. The strategy outlined a number of skill gaps across the aged care sector, including a significant lack of management & leadership knowledge and skills. This was identified across all levels of staff, including management and supervisors. Based on the workforce strategy, I have put together an educational seminar. The seminar includes a lot of practical ideas and ‘How To’ methods. The purpose of the seminar is to develop and build knowledge and skills of people working across the aged care sector.
