About IHM

The Institute of Health & Management (IHM) is a TEQSA-registered Australian higher education provider (PRV14040, CRICOS 03407G), delivering nursing, health and management courses from campuses in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane. Powered by Arizona State University (ASU), IHM combines academic rigour with simulation-based learning and contemporary digital education.

Our purpose is Caring with Passion. Our values are Innovation, Caring and Excellence, underpinned by Integrity - honesty, openness and trust. We exist to prepare nurses who practise person-centred, compassionate care and who become trusted members of the communities they serve, including across regional Australia where that care is needed most.

The Bachelor of Nursing is IHM's flagship course, approved by TEQSA in March 2025. It is central to IHM's ambition to become Australia's first university college specialising in nursing by 2030 - an ambition we are pursuing through the applicable regulatory pathways.
