The Department of Education and Training (DET) aims to ensure that every young person, including those with disabilities and/or specialised health needs, will be well prepared for life success through learning and education. The Department employs Registered Nurses (SSRNs) to work in state schools, and assist school personnel to safely administer and manage the health needs of students with a verified disability and/or specialised health need, enabling their participation in an educational program.

State Schools Registered Nurses work in partnership with Red Hill Special School staff to safely manage the health needs of our students with specialised needs. Working with staff in our school, the registered nurses help manage our students by:

  • assessing individual students’ health needs 
  • developing individualised health and emergency plans
  • providing competency based training for school staff to meet the individual students’ health needs
  • providing support and advice for students, parents and school staff.

Nurses based at Red Hill Special School also provide a service to other state schools in the greater Brisbane area on the basis of referral.
