7 reasons to renew in 2022 – Organisation members

APNA membership and Professional Indemnity Insurance renewal is fast approaching - 31 March 2022. If you are the main contact for your organisation you'll need to renew your membership. If your nurses hold individual Professional Indemnity Insurance with APNA, they can then renew their insurance. 

• Main organisation contact: You need to renew your membership by 31 March 2022:
  1. Login to your APNA account and go to your 'manage my membership' page. 
  2. If you are the 'main organisation contact' you will see the  button, click it. 
  3. Follow the steps to renew.
• Nurses under an organisation membership with Professional Indemnity Insurance: Once your organisation renews its membership, you can renew your Professional Indemnity Insurance in one annual payment via card:
  1. Login to your APNA account and go to your 'my insurance' page
  2. Click on the  button. 
  3. Follow the steps to renew your Professional Indemnity Insurance. 

Having problems? Please email membership@apna.asn.au or call (03) 9322 9500, and we can help. 

If you pay membership via monthly instalments, it will automatically renew, but if you have Professional Indemnity Insurance you will still need to renew your insurance in one annual payment by 31 March 2022.

Why renew?

2022 is a big year for primary health care nurses, and APNA will be there every step of the way - here are 7 reasons to renew in 2022:

1. COVID support when nurses need it - APNA is working closely with the federal and state Departments of Health, ensuring nurses get the inside word, most up-to-date and relevant information on COVID-19. Feel confident that your nurses are informed during the evolving COVID-19 vaccine roll-out and beyond. Our members receive priority and free access to news, resources, and education.

2. Providing education that meets your nurses' needs - We’re refreshing how nurses learn with a new education strategy. We are providing more education than ever before with: new online learning content, relevant webinars, regular Nursing Australia podcast episodes, members-version of The Connect newsletter, bi-annual Primary Times magazine, NurseTalk events and more.

3. Nurse experts as your nurses' ‘phone a friend’ - We are only a phone call away with access to the member-only APNA Nurse Support Line staffed by dedicated expert nurse consultants. We’ll help steer nurses through the unknown.

4. Connecting your nurses with other nurses - Your nurses will be part of a community of thousands of nurses working in primary health care. APNA’s new Online Member Community (with new features coming in 2022) and member-exclusive Facebook Group provides a space where members can post questions, discuss topics and share resources.

5. Advocacy for primary health care nurses - This year, there’ll be a federal election, where the country has seen first-hand the worth of primary health care nurses. We’ll play a key role in raising the profile of the profession and advocating for strategies and solutions within the National Nursing Strategy that support the workforce.

6. Helping nurses upskill - APNA created the Career and Education Framework to help nurses navigate primary health care. In 2022 we’ll embed the framework across our education offering to make it easier for you to upskill.

7. Showcasing primary health care and future-proofing the workforce - With your help, we’ll facilitate student nurse placements on a national scale. Together we’ll highlight the amazing work nurses do and create a pipeline of great nurses choosing to work in primary health care.
