ANMC
Welcome to the Australian Nursing
and Midwifery Council Incorporated (ANMC)
The ANMC is a peak body established in 1992 to facilitate a national approach to nursing and midwifery regulation. The ANMC works with state and territory Nursing and Midwifery Regulatory Authorities (NMRA) in evolving standards for statutory nursing and midwifery regulation. These standards are flexible, effective and responsive to the health care requirements of the Australian population.
The ANMC is also an authorised assessing authority for the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) and undertakes skills assessments of internationally qualified nurses and midwives seeking permanent migration in Australia.

Current Issues
- National Registration and Accreditation Update
On 26 March the Council of Australian Governments signed the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for a National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for the Health Professions. The meeting communiqué and the IGA are both available on the COAG website http://www.coag.gov.au
The ANMC supports a national regulatory scheme for nursing and midwifery. This support is based on the scheme maintaining the highest standards of nursing and midwifery care to the Australian community.
The ANMC through the Australian Peak Nursing and Midwifery Forum continues to provide advice to governments at all levels on the development of the scheme.
The ANMC is committed to taking the time necessary to ensure that the scheme developed is implemented carefully, thoughtfully and transparently.
Further information including copies of all APNMF submissions is available on the Health Workforce website http://www.nhwt.gov.au/natreg.asp
