The Festival of Nursing has always been about bringing nurses together. But in 2026, we’re taking it to the next level: it will be bolder and more practical than ever, designed to deliver the CPD every nurse needs. Plus, gain leadership skills and fresh thinking to help shape our profession’s future.
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 104,000+ 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.

This year, the APNA Workforce Survey turns 20!
For two decades, nurses and midwives have told the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association what it's really like to work in primary health care.
As a result, you helped APNA to influence policy, change legislation, support research, and secure funding for programs that support you at every stage of your career.
You've helped improve what it's like to work outside the four walls of a hospital.
Let's make this year's Workforce Survey the biggest yet.
If you work outside a hospital, you work in primary health care, and we want to hear from you. No APNA membership needed!
It takes about 30 minutes - you can save it to complete later.
Simply complete the survey by midnight Sunday, 16 November, to be in with the chance of winning one of two $1000 RedBalloon vouchers!
The survey has been approved by the Monash University Human Research Ethics Committee.
You can add APNA-Member Professional Indemnity Insurance to your membership, when you join APNA.
