Need to finformation about nursing uniforms of australian nurses?

working on a project for international nurse's week and need to find information about nursing uniforms in australia.

I am unsure what time period you are looking for but... it sounds like the uniform changed periodically.

One comment I found said; "I trained in Sydney in 1974 when we wore a royal blue dress (until a couple of years before this it had been long-sleeved with detachable cuffs, but just before I commenced training the sleeves were shortened with an attached white edging, due to our hot climate). This had a "peter pan" collar and was covered completely with a white starched apron with cross-over straps at the back and wide white belt (blue for probationers). The cap was pleated and had to completely cover your hair, interestingly unlike most English caps I see. Your year of seniority was marked by the number of blue stripes on the front of your cap. We wore dark brown stockings and dark brown duty shoes, with either a red or blue cape with epaulettes. Sisters (all State Registered Nurses here were called Sisters, unlike the UK where I believe only the "Charge Sister" is called by that term) wore a powder-blue uniform with a double row of white buttons down the front, black shoes, clear stockings and a very large white starched tulle veil,which I have sometimes
seen referred to as the "butterfly veil" - at my hospital it was very large and one learnt very early on to stand at least three feet away from any Sister, as any closer than this and, when she turned around, you were likely to get a nasty scratch from the stiff edge of the VERY highly starched veil hitting you! Assistant Matrons wore navy blue uniforms with a double row of white buttons and white veil, Charge Sisters wore a normal Sister's uniform but with a very tall conical-shaped veil so that they were instantly recognizable, and Matron alone wore all white with the biggest veil of all!"
