History

We’ve been delivering education services for almost 20 years.

We were previously known as the Centre for Education and Workforce Development (CEWD) which was established in 2005 with the amalgamation of the former Central Sydney Area Health Service and the South Western Sydney Area Health Service into the Sydney South West Area Health Service. At that time, we were one of the few education services that combined both clinical and non-clinical education under one directorate.

Our diversity is one of our strengths. This has allowed us to grow the types of professional development opportunities that our staff can access.

We know how important it is for learning to be life long and to incorporate different styles including experiential learning, social learning and informal learning.
 

We also have strong partnerships with other agencies that allow us to offer scholarships for tertiary level qualifications or specialised courses that we cannot deliver internally.

Our Venues

We deliver education and training in facilities throughout Sydney Local Health District, including dedicated education venues at Concord, Royal Prince Alfred and Canterbury Hospitals.

Our head office is located in the beautiful and historic grounds of Callan Park. Our Education Centre is located in one of the refurbished buildings of the old Rozelle Hospital. Our facilities include a large auditorium; lecture, tutorial and meeting rooms; and two high fidelity simulation wards.
