FAQs

Is the IOL suitable for individuals at different stages of their career?

Our programs cater to a diverse range of professionals, from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. The curriculum is designed to be adaptable and beneficial for individuals at various career stages.

Are there financial assistance options available for the programs?

We understand the importance of financial considerations. The Institute of Leadership offers various scholarship opportunities, grants, and awards. Contact us to discuss available options based on your individual circumstances.

I have a busy schedule; will I be able to manage the workload of the program?

Our programs are a mix of in person masterclasses and online learning. While they require your commitment, we understand it can be difficult to find the time outside of your personal and professional life. We encourage all our students to look at the course commitment before enrolling and working with mentors to find a schedule that works for you.

How can I be sure that the Institute of Leadership's programs align with my career goals?

Our programs are designed by nurses, for nurses. It’s our mission to empower the next generation of nurses to be leaders for our profession, our communities and for the healthcare system in Australia. We can’t do that without likeminded nurses who want to see real change in the coming years. The Institute of Leadership won’t be for every nurse or fit for every career trajectory, but if you’re looking to lead your workplace, be at the forefront of cutting-edge research and policy, be a person of change and help to shape healthcare in Australia – then our programs are for you.

Is there a community or network I can connect with during and after the program?

We have a network of alumni students in a private LinkedIn group. Why LinkedIn? As we are invested in building nurse leaders, we want to be at the forefront of where business connections can be made digitally, LinkedIn is that platform.

What steps can I take if I face challenges during the program?

Contact us at leadership@acn.edu.au, and reach out to your mentor. We want you to succeed and will do everything we can to support you through any challenges.

Can I speak with current or former students to get a better understanding of their experiences?
