NSW Nurses' Association

What is the New South Wales Nurses' Association?

The New South Wales Nurses' Association (NSWNA) is the registered union for all nurses and midwives in New South Wales.

It represents the industrial interest of nurses and midwives employed under all awards and agreements registered in this State in both the public and private sectors. Its role is to protect the interests of nurses and midwives and the nursing and midwifery profession.

As well, the Association represents and provides for the professional, educational and industrial welfare of nurses and midwives in government and non-government forums at state, national and international level.

The NSWNA has over 54,000 members and is affiliated to the Unions NSW and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).

Confidential Advice and Assistance

A nursing or midwifery career is stimulating, challenging and rewarding. There will be times in your career, though, when you will need information, advice or assistance in relation to your job. In some instances this will be help that only the union is able to provide.
