The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council is the peak body to facilitate a national approach to nursing and midwifery regulation. The ANMAC works with state and territory nursing and midwifery regulatory authorities in evolving standards for statutory regulation of nurses and midwives. These standards are flexible, effective and responsive to the health care requirements of the Australian population.
ANMAC is responsible for accrediting around 480 education programs leading to registration and endorsement of nurses and midwives.
These programs are conducted:
- by more than 160 education providers across Australia.
- across 2 education sectors (higher education and vocational education and training)
- for programs leading to registration and endorsement in 8 categories.
