Health Workforce Directorate Postgraduate Nursing Funding
This content brought to you by:
Welcome to Southern DHB’s Postgraduate education for Registered Nurses program.
|
DHBs throughout New Zealand have responsibility for identifying and prioritising funding for postgraduate training needs for all registered nurses within their district who are employed by health and disability services funded by the DHB or Ministry of Health. 
|
The graduate nurse represents the future of the nursing profession and as such we believe you should have the opportunity to develop your professional and practice roles in a supportive environment that models excellence in nursing practice, leadership, professionalism and best practice principles.
The purpose of these pages is to provide information relating to Health Workforce Directorate (formerly HWNZ) funding and support available for nursing postgraduate study.
Assisting key stakeholders in postgraduate education to be well informed and assist the decision-making process around postgraduate study is a key focus.
Key stakeholders include:
-
Registered Nurses considering postgraduate study
-
Nursing Leadership
-
Health providers
-
Line Managers
-
Educators
Health Workforce Directorate Postgraduate Nursing information is current at the time of issue. All efforts will be made to publicise significant changes to processes as they occur at the earliest possible time.

Training Providers Expo
STUDY EXPO CANCELLED
Following recent announcement to continue the lockdown level 3 for Auckland, until Sunday and then Level 2 for all of us until at least September 6th – the decision has been made to cancel the Study Expos that were planned for Invercargill on Monday 31st August and Dunedin on Tuesday 1st September. Some representatives had already told us they will not be attending. Social distancing in our environments would just been too complex to maintain. The tertiary providers may send us promotional material that can be distributed on their behalf. Some may also send PowerPoint/video presentations that we can upload onto the website. And there is a possibility of zoom meetings too.
For further information about HWD funding and/or postgraduate study options please in the first instance contact us.
