Experience Real-World Care in Our Simulation Suite

Simulation provides a safe, controlled, and immersive learning environment where students can develop complex clinical and communication skills—without the risk of harm to real patients. By combining cutting-edge simulation technology with evidence-based teaching methods, our program bridges the gap between classroom theory and real-world clinical practice. 

Our state-of-the-art Simulation Suite was created to meet the growing needs of healthcare education and increasing student numbers. Designed to mirror real clinical settings, the suite gives students the confidence, skills, and experience needed before stepping into professional practice. By combining current simulation technologies with our expert facilitators, we are engaging in dynamic and transformational teaching and research that makes significant contribution to improving the health and wellbeing of local, national and global communities.

The facility includes:

  • A high fidelity simulation lab replicating an acute nursing or midwifery environment to provide simulated complex care scenarios equipped with Nursing Anne manikin and Noelle birthing simulator
  • A control room with state-of-the-art AV technology where scenarios are guided by expert educators
  • An observation area and debriefing space with advanced audio-visual technology facilities

Who uses the suite?

The Simulation Suite supports:

  • Undergraduate nursing and midwifery students
  • Postgraduate learners
  • Interdisciplinary training, preparing students to collaborate across healthcare professions

Our simulation suite allows students train with confidence, build competence, and graduate ready to make a difference in healthcare.
