Primary health care is any medical service that is provided outside the four walls of a hospital, including aged care, community health, general practice, custodial, schools and many other primary health care settings. Australia's 98,000+ primary health care nurses play a critical role in disease prevention and control to keep people healthy. They provide proactive care and health promotion to keep Australians well.
Nurses, students, professionals and employers: join APNA today for unparalleled growth and support in primary health care.
The APNA Nursing and Midwifery Workforce Survey is the only national survey focusing exclusively on nurses and midwives working outside of Australia’s hospitals and in the community, making it a powerful tool for change.
The data from our 2023 survey has supported changes to legislation, contributed to consultations and submissions, and helped secure funding for programs that will make a real difference to the future of primary health care nursing.
We need your help to make this year's survey our biggest yet!
The more nurses and midwives who complete the survey, the better placed we are to lobby for changes to ensure a better future.
So if you work in a primary health care setting - we want to hear from you! You do not need to be an APNA member to take part.
Completed surveys go into a draw to win one of two $1000 Red Balloon vouchers or ten $100 cash cards.
The survey is open until 31 December 2024 and takes about 30 minutes to complete. Grab yourself a coffee, take a break, answer the questions, and help ensure that governments and policymakers see you as visible, valued, and respected.
Federal Assistant Health and Aged Care Minister Ged Kearney supports the APNA Workforce Survey and encourages the primary health care nursing and midwifery workforce to complete it.
