About IHM Australia

IHM Australia (Institute of Health & Management) is a private higher education provider founded in 2012 and focused on nursing and social work. It teaches on campuses in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane, and online. Its courses include a Master of Nursing for registered nurses, a Bachelor of Nursing, a Bachelor of Social Work and bridging and exam-preparation programmes for overseas nurses.

Indian students, often nurses already registered in India, look at IHM for the on-campus Master of Nursing. The Master does not lead directly to nursing registration in Australia; graduates still need to meet NMBA requirements and pass the NCLEX and OSCE. The Bachelor of Nursing page does not publish an international fee, so it is not listed below. IHM is not in world university rankings.
