Termly Member Meetings (via Zoom)

VSNA provides regular opportunities for updates, discussion and professional connection on school nursing practice, topical issues and current developments.

Meetings are held online on the 4th Tuesday of each school term, starting at 16:30 hrs. Each session features an educational presentation by a guest speaker (CPD eligible), followed by networking and a brief business meeting.

Registration is required to receive the Zoom link, which is emailed to members and also available on the members-only Facebook page.

We also value our annual face-to-face meetings at ANMF House Melbourne, where members come together for our Annual General Meeting (AGM). These gatherings provide a vital opportunity to engage directly with fellow School Nurses, participate in association governance, discuss key updates and strengthen professional connections within the VSNA community. Attendance at the AGM as a face-to-face meeting is strongly encouraged to maintain active engagement and contribute to the ongoing development of the association.
