Our vision is to provide leadership to registered nurses and midwives to deliver safe care through innovative and proactive professional regulation. Our mission is to protect the public and the integrity of the professions of nursing and midwifery by promoting high standards of education, training and professional conduct. We perform our functions in the public interest under the Nurses Act, 1985 and the Nurses and Midwives Act 2011. We focus on three areas specifically: 1. Publication and maintenance of the Register of Nurses and Midwives and the Candidate Register; 2. Education standards and requirements; and 3. Complaints about the practice or behaviour of a nurse or midwife.
