Details
Patricia Downes Chomley MBE was the first director of postgraduate nursing education at the College of Nursing, Australia, CNA, (later Royal College of Nursing, Australia, RCNA) in December 1949 and would remain in that position until 1964. The CNA was located in Melbourne and its establishment in Victoria was marred by a division with the New South Wales College of Nursing which refused to acknowledge the CNA in Melbourne as anything other than a Victorian organisation. This division was to last until 1992 when the two colleges signed a working agreement to recognise each other's membership. There had been considerable cooperation between the two colleges over the decades in relation to the courses they offered to nurses. Chomley was the daughter of Francis Charles Chomley and Mary Aileen Charlotte (nee Anderson). Francis (Frank) Charles Chomley was a surveyor employed by the Victorian Government. Frank Chomley and his wife were the owners of a property known as Glenelva, Helena Avenue, Kallista, from about 1921. Patricia Chomley's grandfather was William Downes Chomley who was appointed as '...territorial magistrate in the colony of Victoria in 1859.' Violet Ida Chomley, a sister to Frank and aunt to Patricia, studied at the Universirty of Melbourne and gained a Master's degree in 1893. After teaching in secondary schools in Australia and England Violet was elected to the Bedford Town Council in 1936.
