Preparing nursing to care for older adults now and into the future
The Australian Hartford Consortium of Gerontological Nursing Excellence (AusHCGNE) gathers experts in gerontological nursing from universities around Australia.
Our mission is to lead capacity building in Australian gerontological nursing education, practice, research and policy. We aim to develop capable leadership for those charged with providing high-quality care to older Australians into the future.
