The GCON Council is responsible for overseeing the governance, strategic direction, and policy development of the nursing college. Its primary mandate is to ensure that nursing education in the province meets the highest standards of excellence and produces skilled, compassionate, and competent nurses to serve in Gauteng’s healthcare system.

GCON was officially established in 2019 to centralise and standardise nursing education in the province. This was part of a broader vision to align nursing training with national higher education frameworks and ensure that Gauteng produces well-trained nurses who are equipped to serve in both primary and specialised healthcare settings.

The inauguration marks the installation of the second GCON Council since the amalgamation of the previous four colleges to form one entity.

Members of the media are invited to attend and cover the ceremony as follows:
