You're right, a mature age student doesn't have to have VCE to apply for Uni. I am pretty sure that the Uni's (even though they like you to have some sort of qualification) look at your life experience and circumstances when assessing whether or not to accept you to the Uni. I note that you are in Vic... I am pretty sure RMIT focus on mature age students so perhaps give them a call and chat to someone in the school? I was going to suggest popping into the Nursing Expo but it has been and gone. You could go to Uni open days if they are still going (a bit out of touch with when they have those nowadays). You can always apply for Div 2 which is done through TAFE's and Uni's (the beauty of that one is you can often get a venue to "sponser" you which means you paid work, working as a Div 2 student as you study!) and then go on to do Div 1 but you *should* get credit for most of the first year...
