RCNA Lobbying Update
RCNA is actively lobbying the recently elected independent, Nationals and Greens members of federal parliament to ensure fundamental health reform is a key consideration in their negotiations with Labor and the Coalition.
RCNA’s key messages to these members focus around the need to:
- develop a national nursing and midwifery workforce strategy
- undertake a national rural nursing and midwifery work environments and lifestyles assessment
- take a system-wide health care approach to reform
- implement a patient-centred, health promotion and preventative approach to health care that capitalises on the central role of nursing across the health system
- make better use of the skills of all health professionals and reduce dependence on general practice
- maximise the expertise of the nursing profession, which, as the predominant health profession across the health sector, is currently significantly underutilised
- enhance and expand community and primary health care roles of nurse that sit outside of general practice.
