 A School of Nursing opened in February 1985 with 200 students at the Milperra campus, with another 100 students added at Campbelltown in 1986 once additional facilities there were completed.It was the only nursing school in south-western Sydney, and reports noted that it was expected to be one of the biggest in New South Wales once the Campbelltown intake began.In 1985, the college introduced an alternative entry scheme for undergraduate students from the Fairfield, Liverpool, Bankstown and Campelltown-Camden to assist more people from traditionally underprivileged south-western Sydney into higher education.
