SMARTcare Returns to Notre Dame University

The buzz is building for SMARTcare 2025, the flagship biennial event hosted by the Notre Dame Nursing Society and the School of Nursing & Midwifery – and this year’s event is shaping up to be the biggest yet.

Taking its inspiration from the high-stakes world of emergency medicine, and playfully themed around the ED-based TV drama The Pitt, this year’s SMARTcare is set to deliver an immersive experience packed with inspiration, hands-on learning, and career-building opportunities for both aspiring and experienced nurses.

With over 16 dynamic speakers, live trauma simulations, workshops in IV cannulation, suturing and ALS, and displays including the Critical Care Ambulance from the RFDS and an ADF military ambulance setup – this is more than just a healthcare conference. It’s an event designed to ignite passion and purpose in the next generation of health professionals.

Your ticket includes 2 hours of CPD, a food item, hot drinks from the on-site barista cart, all speaker sessions, and full access to over 50 interactive stalls, live music, networking opportunities, and exciting giveaways. Unsurprisingly, it’s expected to sell out fast – so don’t wait.

Catholic Homes Brings Career Coaching to the Fore

Catholic Homes is proud to be part of this year’s experience, with a dedicated activation designed to spark meaningful conversations about career pathways in aged care.

At our stand, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in speed coaching sessions led by three of our experienced team members. Each conversation will help you reflect on your professional journey with coaching-style prompts like:

  1. What’s the biggest challenge you’re facing right now?
  2. What’s stopping you from getting there?
  3. What’s within your power to change?

Whether you’re still studying, looking to make a shift, or just curious about the aged care space, these short, empowering chats will leave you with fresh insights – and a clearer sense of what’s possible.

 

SMARTcare 2025 is your chance to explore every corner of the healthcare industry – from the fast pace of ED to the heart-led work of aged care. Meet the Catholic Homes team and let’s talk about where your future could take you.
