From her work in the 1960s with the Family Planning Association ...Born in Bendigo and trained as a nurse in the 1950s, Sonia Jill O’Brien devoted a lifetime to social and environmental issues at both the state and local level. From her work in the 1960s with the Family Planning Association of Victoria, of which she was a founding member, through to the 1990s as a member of the Ethics Committee of the Department of Health, she supported efforts to improve women’s health and reproductive rights. At the local level she was most active on committees that worked to save the natural and built environment. The Power-line Action Group, the Studley Park Conservation Society, and the Yarra Bend Park Trust all benefitted from her indefatigable endeavours as well her vision. In 1980, Jill O’Brien successfully stood for the Kew City Council and served as Mayor in 1983 and 1984. With an eye to preserving the past as well as guarding the future, she had the Mayoral robes restored and in 1980 and 1981 was president of the Kew Historical Society. The preservation and restoration of Villa Alba in Walmer Street owes much to her determined efforts throughout the 1980s. On Council, she chaired a number of committees involved in the saving of the Kew River Parklands from the proposed transmission line of the SEC. To this end, she was the Council representative on the Merri Yarra Municipal Protection Committee.Rare colour photograph, used as the official mayoral portrait of Cr Jill O'Brien.Formal civic portrait of Cr Jill O'Brien in red mayoral robes wearing lace jabot and cuffs.

The Northern District School of Nursing opened in 1950 and closed its doors in 1989 having overseen the training of more than 3000 nurses who are now scattered across Australia and the world. Northern District School of Nursing Nursing Student Ten pages of typed notes pertaining to training as a nurse at the Northern District School of Nursing from 1950 to 1989, and the Northern District School of Nursing Graduates Association ...Speech given by Jenny Trewartha to the Bendigo Historical Society on 7th March, 2025 at the la Trobe Art Institute, View Street, Bendigo. Jenny was a graduate of the NDSN at the end of 1972. The Northern District School of Nursing opened at Bendigo in 1950 and was the only regional independent School of Nursing of its kind in the southern hemisphere. There was a huge need for trained nurses in hospitals across the region as the nursing numbers were dwindling. Post World War II was a critical period with soldiers returning with wounds and conditions not seen before and needing special treatment. Medicine and medical treatments were entering a new age, and this new age needed nurses with new skills. There was a need to improve the status and prospects for nurses. Improved working and living conditions were needed; adequate remuneration and a career path to attract a better class of trainees, and a uniform training by means of a circular or block system. This was the basis of the establishment of the Northern District School of Nursing which oversaw nurse training in hospitals across the northwest of Victoria, including Bendigo, Castlemaine, Kyneton, Maryborough, Mildura, Ouyen, St Arnaud, Swan Hill, Dunolly, Inglewood and Echuca. The Northern District School of Nursing opened in 1950 and closed its doors in 1989 having overseen the training of more than 3000 nurses who are now scattered across Australia and the world.Ten pages of typed notes pertaining to training as a nurse at the Northern District School of Nursing from 1950 to 1989, and the Northern District School of Nursing Graduates Association.

The Committee of Management included medical, nursing, and educational leaders from regional hospitals and schools. Dr. Peter Slater, a founding member and major contributor, passed away in 1960 and was honored for his service. The tutorial and clerical staff lists reflect several changes, with notable resignations and new appointments. The School celebrated its tenth anniversary in March 1960, marking a decade since its first intake in 1950. It was the first independent nursing school in Australia, contributing significantly to nursing education history. A new kitchen-dining block was completed, improving meal services and social spaces.Upgrades included a second demonstration classroom, improved lighting and heating, and renovations to hostels and administrative areas. Some maintenance issues remained, particularly with older hostels and the need for a new administrative block.4. A post-graduate Staff Nurse Training Course was introduced to retain and further develop graduates within the region. The study block plan was revised to distribute nurse absences more evenly, increasing the number of study blocks from 9 to 14 per year. The School faced challenges balancing educational needs with hospital staffing requirements. Certificates were awarded to several graduates who completed the new Staff Nurse Training Course. The report details causes of student attrition, including exam failures, personal reasons, health, marriage, and disciplinary actions. The School hosted significant conferences, including the Royal Victorian College of Nursing's tutors' conference, fostering professional development and networking. The School's finances were stable, with government grants as the main income source and detailed accounts of expenditures and assets provided. The report expresses gratitude to staff, the Hospitals and Charities Commission, and associated hospitals for their support and cooperation. 11th ANNUAL REPORT Here are the key points from the Eleventh Annual Report (1960-1961) of the Committee of Management for the Northern District School of Nursing, Bendigo: Ongoing issues with deteriorating retaining walls and outbuildings at school residences.

A committee was established in November 1975 to organize activities and maintain connections among graduates. Reunions are scheduled every five years to avoid conflicts with other hospital groups, with the next planned for April 1980. Membership is open to those who trained at the Northern District School of Nursing, associated hospitals, and transfer students who completed their training there. Annual subscription is $1.00, payable before each reunion, with pro-rata rates for those joining between reunions. Previously, newsletters were sent to all known graduates, but this was costly and inefficient. The School now publishes a magazine with a section for Association news, sent twice a year to financial members. Membership is steadily increasing, but many graduates have not yet been contacted.
