Over five consecutive days students will rotate through many areas previously not available to school students to find out what it's really like to be a nurse or midwife and what nurses and midwives really do.
The program runs between school terms 2 to 4. The exact intake dates will vary between each hospital and students can submit up to three placement preferences upon application.
Applications for the 2019 GREaT Program close 5.00pm Friday 8 March.
