Hansard debates

Ms SULEYMAN (St Albans) (09:55:35) — Last week I was delighted to attend the launch of the world-class simulation-based learning facility at Victoria University in St Albans. This simulation facility will give our future paramedics, nurses and midwives valuable practical training and experience in a realistic and supportive environment. These sorts of simulated learning facilities help students to build essential skills in critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving and communication. These are real skills for the real world.

I would like also to thank Victoria University for placing its St Albans campus at the forefront of training in the west. This is on top of the Andrews Labor government's investment in the St Albans and Sunshine campuses of Victoria University and making TAFE available to students again, in particular the free courses that have been announced recently.
