UWS and Karitane recognise the complexity and diversity of the role of the child and family health nurse and the need to be educationally prepared at a master level. Course content reflects the recent policy directives from the NSW Department of Health and is consistent with policy and practice directions from other Australian states and territories. The NSW Child and Family Health Nursing Practice Standards framework auspiced by the Nursing and Midwifery Office (NaMO) and the Child and Family Health Nurses Association (CAFHNA) competencies have played an integral part in course development. Learning outcomes are responsive to contemporary policy and practice issues to prepare nurses for the challenging and fulfilling role of a child and family health nurse.
