The collective might of the country’s largest union, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF), was on full display at the 16th Biennial National Conference in Sydney last week, with more than one hundred nurse, midwife and carer worker delegates gathering to debate key issues across the professions and help map out the agenda for the next two years.
The conference theme, ‘A Collective Force For Change’, signified the union’s increasing influence over the past few years, including driving long-overdue aged care reforms and, importantly, the hard work that remains to advance the professions through solidarity and action.
