Professional Practice Framework

The Professional Practice Framework is the suite of standards that guide and determine professional practice for nurses and midwives in Australia.

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia who are the regulatory authority for nursing and midwifery now own the Professional Practice Framework. It was officially transferred to them in June 2010.

For further information regarding the Professional Practice Framework and to view the suite of standards go to the National Nursing and Midwifery Board website www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au. and then to Codes and Guidelines.
