The Zedu weekly wrap - bringing together the best in free ultrasound news, views and opinions from across the internet.

Zedu Weekly Wrap – 3 October 2025

Australia’s home of ultrasound is home…

with our first week of operation in our new facility having gone without a hitch. Anyone would think we had a plan! The most important aspect being that Barney has made himself at home – and established where the treats are kept.

It really is an incredible space, purpose-built to spark energy, ideas, and hands-on learning. Every corner has been designed with you in mind – so whether you’re stepping in for your first course or levelling up your skills, you’ll feel the difference the moment you walk through the door.

We can’t wait to welcome you here and show you how this new home will take your learning experience to the next level.

And as we head into the weekend, be sure to have a look at what will inspire your ultrasound this week! 🚀✨

  • Our friends at Ambulance Victoria have published “Soundwaves of innovation: a qualitative exploration of POCUS in Australasian ambulance and retrieval services” (2 October)
  • AEM has published “Implementation of a Longitudinal Ultrasound Training Program for Senior Emergency Medicine Residents: Impact on Scan Volume and Accuracy” (28 September).

Checking out.

See you soon

Mike and Suean

P.S. – don’t forget our brand-new headquarters are located at:

Suite 37 (Level 4), 240 Plenty Road, Bundoora Melbourne VIC 3083

Zedu Learning HQ, Bundoora

This isn’t just a change of address – it’s the start of something bigger.

Zedu - course calendar released to June 2026

Make 2026 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Plus – as the cultural capital of Australia – why not tie in a bit of training with a touch of AO tennis, speed through at the Melbourne GP or have a laugh at the International Comedy Festival.

If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – availability is limited.
