Nursing and Midwifery Orientation

All new nursing and midwifery staff will participate in our three day orientation program. This program begins with the all staff Getting Started program on the first day, followed by two additional face to face days.

The program introduces nursing and midwifery policies and procedures and ensures that you have the knowledge that you need as a new employee. This includes critical clinical skills and eMR training.

Departmental Orientation

When you commence a new role within the District you will receive departmental orientation from your line manager or a senior staff member. This orientation will ensure that you understand your new role and the relevant policies, procedures and processes in your department. This will equip you with the knowledge to keep you, your colleagues, patients and their families safe and well cared for.  

A departmental orientation checklist has been developed to support this process. You will receive your orientation checklist to complete with your manager with your Getting Started email confirmation.

Mandatory Training and My Health Learning

All new staff are required to complete a suite of mandatory training modules determined by the role that you have within our District. Please note that there are some modules that must be completed within your first three months in our District. You can access these modules through My Health Learning – you will hear more information about this during the Getting Started Program.  

To log on to My Health Learning you will need to initially set up your Staff Link password as you will use your employee number as your username and your Staff Link password as your password.  

To set up your Staff Link password please call the State Wide Service Desk on 1300 285 533.
