National registration and accreditation scheme

For the first time there will be a single national registration and accreditation system for nurses and midwives as well as medical practitioners and other health professionals.

This will:

  • help health professionals move around the country more easily
  • reduce red tape
  • provide greater safeguards for the public
  • promote a more flexible, responsive and sustainable health workforce
