About the Museum

Australian Military Nursing commemorated its 100^th year of service in 1999 . The official opening of the E.M Lane Nurses’ Museum by Sir Roden Cutler on July 4, 1999 was timed to coincide with this anniversary as a tribute to our service nurses.

Named in honour of Mrs Ethel “Stalky” Lane AM MBE, the Museum’s main objective is to collect, preserve, display and research objects, material and information relating to Australian Military Nursing and the early history of Concord Repatriation General Hospital.

Highlights

The Museum has a sound collection of nursing uniforms dating as far back as the Boer War. There is also an interesting collection of documents, diaries, personal papers, photographs and memorabilia of military nurses from 1890s through to the Vietnam War.
