In Sydney, you’ll learn at the Sydney Adventist Hospital—the largest private hospital in New South Wales—gaining hands-on clinical experience in a leading healthcare environment while enjoying Sydney’s vibrant lifestyle. New campus accommodation opens in 2026/2027.

You can also study at our Lake Macquarie campus, set within the beautiful Lake Macquarie region. With its relaxed atmosphere and strong sense of community, it offers a focused and supportive place to study nursing while accessing diverse clinical placements across NSW.
