Abstract
Nursing development units (NDUs) have been established in the United Kingdom and the United States, with the aim of developing excellence in nursing practice, in practice settings and with practising nurses. This paper describes the adaptation of this concept to an Australian context, in an area where a diverse ethnic population challenges nurses to accommodate cultural differences and to provide accessible, culturally-sensitive health care.
