Locals arced up last year over allegations CDU was cutting its commitment to the Northern Territory, with less local teaching of nursing and midwifery courses

But now CDU announces 30 new courses, including allied health and nine new PG nursing and midwifery programmes. “Currently, we fly in a lot of interstate health professionals to work in our local health workforce. We want to change that by developing our health workforce in the Territory,” says assistant dean of the College of Health, Sufyan Akram.
