About studying nursing
Nursing degrees combine coursework with supervised clinical placements in hospitals and community settings. To register as a nurse you need a degree approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia. Midwifery is a separate qualification, and some courses in this area are midwifery degrees.
This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.
Getting into nursing courses
Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Most providers expect Units 3 and 4 English, and some require or recommend a science subject. Non-ATAR pathways are available at many universities.
This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.
These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
What this course asks for beyond your ATAR
Before you can start placement you will need a police check or working with children check and immunisations. This does not affect whether you get in. It is worth knowing early because some of it takes time to organise.
We show that these requirements exist, not what they currently say, because universities change them and we would rather send you to the source than repeat something out of date. Check the current requirements at VTAC

Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at Monash in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 88.7%
- Still studying
- 2%
- Left after returning
- 6.9%
- Never came back after first year
- 2.3%
More recently: of new Monash bachelor students in 2023, 3.9% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.
Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you
What it costs, next to what graduates earn
Total student contribution:3 years × $4,908/year ≈ $14,700Estimate
The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Monash did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
- Typical starting salary (this study area)
- $71,000
- Typical salary three years on (all Monash graduates)
- $90,100
