The Subfaculty of Nursing currently has seven standing committees that report to the subfaculty board: Research Promotion Committee; Quality Assurance Committee; Subfaculty Standing Committee on Ethics in Research on Humans; Undergraduate Matters Committee; Postgraduate Matters Committee, Higher Degrees by Research Committee and Promotions and Honorary Appointments Committee. The terms of reference for these committees are available from the Subfaculty of Nursing office on Clayton campus.

Timetables may be obtained at the time of pre-enrolment or re-enrolment at Peninsula campus. At Gippsland campus and the Centre for Graduate Studies in Clinical Nursing timetables are available at the beginning of each semester.

Sources of advice

Throughout their university course, students have recourse to various sources of advice and help when they encounter difficulties. Their lecturers or course coordinators are available to consult about academic problems in courses in which they are studying. In addition, the school/centre administrative officers may be consulted on changes of course, or any matters relevant to the student's progress during the course. Students may be referred to one or other of the student services such as counselling, health or housing at the relevant campus or the Course and Careers Centre at Clayton and Peninsula campuses.
