Nurses Memorial Centre was built after an appeal from the public which was initiated by the Victorian nurses. They mainly returned from the Second World War and with the help of some hardworking people, they finally reached the desired end. The names of two nurses have been remembered to date and perpetuate their memory by naming annual education grants in their honor. They were Betty Jeffrey, OAM, who wrote the book White Coolies and another one was Vivian Bullwinkel. The main goal of Nurses Memorial Centre was to deal with the advancement of the health of the community through the provision of education grants. They offer scholarships to nurses who want to pursue postgraduate study, making it a wonderful experience for them.
