In-house training for staff at Orbost Regional Health, and other regional health services, has been made possible through collaboration with the Simulated Learning Environment project. Nurse educators Jules Stone and Jo Marshall from Orbost borrowed equipment including the IV arm, Peter PICC and Little Anne. Bairnsdale-based project officer for the Simulation Learning Environment, Laurea Atkinson, has supported training with the staff of the health service with a visit taking an additional advanced life support mannequin.

Visits and equipment sharing are an important aspect of the outreach part of the project and makes training and updating of skills possible for those health professionals in rural and remote areas.
