This document is a formal acceptance letter from a Senior Operations Officer at the S Health Department Victoria. The officer accepts an invitation to attend the Northern District School of Nursing Past Graduates group meeting at Lister House on Monday, 27 July 1987, at 10:30 a.m. This document reviews the history, current status, and proposed changes for the Northern District Nursing Graduates Association (NDSNGA): The NDSN was a major development in nursing education, though initially met with resistance and seen by some as radical. Advocacy by figures like Miss Long was crucial in advancing nursing education standards. There is concern that without updates, the Association may become irrelevant or cease to exist as new generations of graduates emerge. Minor changes could help the Association better serve practicing, non-practicing, and retired nurses, fostering community and professional discussion. Membership Eligibility:Open to graduates of NDSN and CAE nursing courses in the region.Include students who did not complete the course. Allow nurses who graduated elsewhere but worked in the region for at least five years. Name Change Options include minor modifications (e.g., Northern District Nursing Graduates Association) or broader regional names (e.g., Loddon Campaspe Region). The Association maintains connections among graduates, with opportunities for tours and social contact. Some school facilities have been repurposed (e.g., library, recreation room, hostel). Progress on creating an archival repository and potential museum is slow due to limited resources and the scale of groundwork required. Members are encouraged to contribute historical materials. Written communication is less frequent among nurses, but efforts are being made to gather feedback via newsletters and questionnaires. Member input is sought on proposed changes, especially regarding membership and the Association's name. These points highlight the Association's ongoing efforts to adapt, preserve its heritage, and remain relevant to both current and future nursing professionals.nurse training, lister house, m worme
