Global partnerships

Creating impact through international collaboration

At Monash Nursing and Midwifery, we believe that the world's most complex healthcare challenges are best addressed through collaboration. Our international partnerships connect researchers, educators, clinicians, students and healthcare organisations across the globe to improve health outcomes, advance nursing and midwifery practice, and develop the next generation of healthcare leaders.

Working alongside leading universities, healthcare providers, professional organisations and industry partners, we foster meaningful collaborations that generate new knowledge, strengthen education, and deliver real-world impact.

A global network with local impact

Our partnerships span more than 17 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Oceania, reflecting our commitment to global engagement while addressing local and international healthcare priorities. These collaborations bring together diverse expertise and perspectives to tackle shared health challenges and develop innovative solutions that improve care for communities worldwide.

Through these relationships we create opportunities for:

  • Collaborative research addressing priority health challenges
  • Innovative education and curriculum development
  • Joint supervision of higher degree research students
  • Academic and professional exchange
  • Capacity building and workforce development
  • Knowledge translation and implementation into clinical practice

Research that makes a difference

Research is at the heart of many of our international collaborations. By combining complementary expertise across institutions, our researchers develop innovative approaches to improving healthcare, securing competitive funding, and translating evidence into practice.

Our partnerships have already resulted in collaborative publications, successful grant applications, international workshops and seminars, and shared teaching initiatives that strengthen both research excellence and educational innovation.

Preparing future healthcare leaders

International collaboration enriches learning by exposing students and academics to diverse healthcare systems, cultures and models of care. Through shared educational initiatives and collaborative teaching, we prepare graduates who are culturally responsive, globally connected and equipped to lead healthcare innovation in an increasingly interconnected world.

As our partnerships continue to grow, we are expanding opportunities for student mobility, collaborative learning experiences and international engagement.

Partnerships with purpose

Our approach is built on long-term, mutually beneficial relationships founded on trust, shared values and a commitment to excellence. We prioritise collaborations that align with our strategic goals and have the potential to generate sustainable impact in research, education and clinical practice.

Rather than simply establishing international connections, we focus on developing active partnerships that create measurable outcomes, strengthen healthcare systems, and contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of communities globally.
