Florence Nightingale Committee Of Australia, Victorian Branch

History :

The Florence Nightingale Committee of Australia, Victorian Branch was initially formed c.1934 at the request of the Florence Nightingale International Foundation, London. It joined other committees in South and Western Australia. All state branches went into recess during WW2 but reformed after the war. In December 1946 two representatives from each state branch met with reps from the RANF Federal body and the Australian Red Cross Society to form a National Florence Nightingale Committee. The aims of the Victorian Branch were to co-ordinate post graduate education of nurses by funding scholarships, developing educational facilities and the Royal College of Nursing Australia.
