OUR MISSION

OUR VISION
The vision of Clinical Supervision PLUS is to support nurses in all locations and settings across Australia, to engage in Clinical Supervision.
OUR VALUES
The values of Clinical Supervision PLUS are ‘safety’, ‘self-care’, ‘trust’, and ‘transformation’. These values are essential for the following reasons:
- The safety of clients, consumers, patients, or residents is a core focus of nurses worldwide.
- Nurses must take the time out to self-care by reflecting on their practice, building their professional capabilities, and protecting their own health and well-being.
- In the profession of nursing, trust is a central component to supporting clients, consumers, patients, or residents and delivering effective, high-quality care. In Clinical Supervision, ethical and trusting alliances between the Clinical Supervisor and Clinical Supervisee form the basis of effective, high-quality, reflective practice.
- Education leads to the transformation of individuals, families, groups, communities, and nations. Education about Clinical Supervision leads to the personal and professional transformation of all those who engage with the process of Clinical Supervision.
