Supporting nurses across North Queensland

We're excited to announce our partnership with APNA as a Florence launch partner, giving local nurses early access to a powerful new career development platform.

Florence is a free app built to support nurses with tailored learning, easy CPD tracking, and career-building opportunities. From remote settings to regional centres, Florence is here to help nurses across northern Queensland thrive.

What Florence delivers

Florence is more than just a tracker — it’s a complete professional development tool:

  • get personalised CPD suggestions based on your practice
  • track your learning (formal or informal) with ease and accuracy
  • set career goals and monitor progress
  • compare your development to peers and national benchmarks
  • be matched to opportunities in research, employment, leadership, and more.

Florence is backed by APNA’s Career and Education Frameworks and was developed with nurse insight at its core.

Why it matters in northern Queensland

Our region is unique — diverse, remote, and resourceful. Florence bridges gaps and offers support, structure, and opportunity, no matter where you’re working.

As a launch partner, Northern Queensland PHN is giving nurses in our region early access to Florence before it becomes available more broadly. Keep an eye on our newsletter for more information.
