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.

With a new Parliament, this week APNA is back again advocating for primary health care nurses with decision-makers in Canberra.
It was great to meet with pharmacists, dietitians, podiatrists, and other health professionals to talk about the context for reform in the new Parliament, and meet with a number of MPs and staff.
Changes like nurse prescribing and the scope of practice review are the result of APNA members, other nurses and nursing bodies coming together to push for change that can improve health outcomes for everyone. But we know that nurses can do so much more – starting with enabling everyone to work to their full scope of practice.
That’s why we’re getting started right away in advocating for change that will enable nurses to do more, for a healthier Australia.
