WHAT IS 360 GO?

National 360’s award-winning 360 GO Graduate Program is your 12-month bridge from university to a deeply rewarding clinical career. Designed to provide more than just a job, 360 GO offers a structured, supportive environment where you are empowered to grow into the clinician you aspire to be.

Recognised By The Allied Health Awards For Our Excellence In Professional Development, 360 GO Is Built Around Our Signature Graduate Passport. This Tool Guides Your Journey Through Four Key Phases, Ensuring You Receive Consistent Support, Clinical Mentorship, And The Freedom To Build Your Practice Your Way

• Simulated Practice: Through interactive learning modules, case studies and deidentified scenarios, you’ll develop your clinical reasoning and decision-making skills in a safe and supported environment.


• Experiential Discovery: Connect theory to real-world practice. Through observation, MDT collaboration and supported client work, you’ll gain practical experience and learn how evidence-based practice is applied every day in clinical settings.


• Theoretical Learning: Deepen your clinical expertise through graduate-specific workshops, mentoring from Subject Matter Experts and access to National 360’s extensive online learning library.


• Individualised Development: Following your initial transition into practice, you’ll work with your Clinical Supervisor and Team Leader to tailor the remainder of your Graduate Program to your strengths, interests and professional goals, whether that’s developing expertise in a clinical area or exposure to as many areas of practice as possible.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Role

• Spending time with your colleagues, attending team meetings or checking in with your Team Leader.


• Completing the Graduate Curriculum on our online Learning Management System (LMS).


• Connecting with your Graduate Buddy over coffee to hear about their journey, ask questions and share your own experiences as you transition into practice.


• Attending mentoring sessions with Subject Matter Experts in areas you’re interested in.
