OUR MISSION

The mission of the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) is to empower nurses, midwives and carers to improve the health and well-being of all Australians.

WHAT WE DO

The ANMF is committed to ensuring the voices of nurses, midwives and carers are heard in Canberra.  Our advocacy on your behalf includes general nursing and midwifery issues, concerns regarding cuts to health and the impact on hospitals, workforce issues including early career and graduate nurses, professional and legal issues facing nurses and midwives, aged care staffing and funding concerns, education and training, occupational health and safety, and industrial issues.

The voice of nurses, midwives and carers are strongest when we work together, when we campaign together, and when we take action together.
