Midwifery

The Australian Nursing Federation changed our name in 2013 to the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation to acknowledge the valuable skills and knowledge of midwife members. Most state and territory branches employ at least one professional officer with a midwifery background who is responsible for the midwifery portfolio. The Federal Office of the ANMF currently employs two professional officers registered as midwives. Every month, these professional officers come together to discuss issues facing midwives around the country. The network celebrates wins from each Branch and learns from one another’s experience to agitate for better working conditions for midwives across the country.
