Historical information

The Northern District School of Nursing in Victoria, Australia:

The Association was formed after a survey at the Lister House 25th Anniversary, showing sufficient interest among graduates. 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. The Association welcomes new names and addresses to expand its reach. Key members are designated in various districts (e.g., East Brighton, Castlemaine, Echuca, Bendigo, Swan Hill, Mildura) to facilitate local engagement. Additional InformationGraduates are encouraged to update their contact information if they move.

The history book "Lister House" by Frank Cusack is available for purchase. The School Badge has been updated to include a red surround and the full school name.
