The Department of Health and Aged Care (the Department), Safer Care Victoria and the Victorian Department of Health would like to thank you for your interest in development of the National Nursing Workforce Strategy.

Consultation on the National Nursing Workforce Strategy is currently open and has now been extended and will close 20 December 2023.

We invite you to share your views on nursing workforce issues and opportunities for improvement via one of our consultation methods. This consultation has been designed to gather comprehensive and diverse perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders, including administrators, nurses, nursing students, educators, and policymakers.

There are four ways you can participate:

  • By attending a workshop or webinar
  • By uploading a short video
  • By making a written submission
  • By completing a short 10-minute Online Survey

Please visit the Department’s Consultation Hub to participate.

A National Nursing Workforce Strategy Consultation Paper has been developed and provides relevant information about Australia’s nursing workforce, and offers questions to help consider what the Strategy might address into the future. This can be found on the Consultation Hub.

Please email nursepolicy@health.gov.au if you have any questions.
