Due to the nature of the work, nurses, and midwives as well as students of the professions face significant risks to their psychosocial and physical health and wellbeing.
Increasing natural disasters along with the COVID pandemic have amplified existing workforce challenges and workplace health and safety risks. In recognition of this, the federal government has committed to establish the Nurse and Midwife Health Program Australia (NMHPA) to support nurses, midwives and students nationally.
Here is a run-down on what the NMHPA is and what you can expect from the program.
What is the NMHPA?
NMHPA is a free, confidential, and independent health program designed, led and provided by nurses and midwives, for nurses and midwives and students.
The program offers compassionate and best practice services to nurses, midwives, and students with a broad range of sensitive health and wellbeing needs.
