Australian Centre of Further Education

The Australian Centre of Further Education was established in January 2009. ACFE started as an IRON (Initial Registration of Overseas Nurses) Program education provider and is successfully delivering the program for five years. As a result, our graduates are now serving the Australian health sector as Registered Nurses. The program is approved by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Australia (ANMAC) and the Australian Health and Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The purpose of this program is to provide overseas trained nurses with skills and knowledge required by AHPRA to meet the Australian Nursing and Midwifery competency standards to practise as Registered Nurses(RN) or Enrolled Nurses (EN) in Australian Health Care setting. To date, ACFE has produced over 1000 graduates of the IRON Program as well as many who have gone on to complete our Diploma in Nursing courses and boasts a high rate of employability of its graduate. It has become one of the most reliable and respectable education providers of the IRON Program in Australia. ACFE is an accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and CRICOS provider. We are registered with, and regulated by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). ACFE will continue to serve both the International and Domestic markets in various areas of Health and Community Services. As the Australian Centre of Further Education, we aim to help international students become fully qualified health practitioners within Australia. We help nurses who are trained overseas, reskill and requalify for Australia’s strict health practising guidelines through our IRON program. We also offer courses in business and leadership including Management, International Trade and Leadership. We also offer a range of courses for health practitioners including, Nursing, Aged Care support and our new Diploma of Dental Technology.
