The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) is the largest union in Australia, with 274,956 members in 2018.[1] The union is run by nurses, midwives and assistants in nursing to advance the industrial, political and professional interests of its members.
It is a federated union, with branches in each state and territory in Australia.
History
The Federation was founded in 1924 (previously known as the Australian Nursing FederationШаблон:Fact) and the first secretary was Evelyn Paget Evans who was also the secretary of the Australasian Trained Nurses Association and the General secretary of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (which was then called the Australian Massage Association} who also managed the Australasian Nurses' Journal.[2]
Leadership
All of the Federal Executive of the ANMF are qualified nurses and/or midwives.
ANMF members are employed in a wide range of enterprises in urban, rural and remote locations in both in the public and the private sectors, including hospitals, health and community services, schools, universities, aged care, GP clinics, schools, the armed forces, statutory authorities, local government, offshore territories and industry.
Campaigns
The ANMF runs campaigns for all members throughout Australia, such as its ongoing campaign to legally mandate staffing ratios for aged care.[3][4]
The ANMF has a range of national policies, guidelines, and position statements on nursing, health, and social justice issues for the guidance of members in their practice and at their workplaces.
Federal structure
The ANMF is federally registered.[5] Most branches also have a state-registered union, operating as the union in the state industrial relations system. The NSW branch operates as the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives' Association;[6] the Queensland branch operates as the Queensland Nurses and Midwives' Union.[7]
International representation
The ANMF represents Australian nursing internationally through links with other national and international nursing organisations, professional associations and the International Labour Organisations. The ANMF is a member of the Commonwealth Nurses and Midwives Federation[8] and the South Pacific Nurses Forum[9] and is affiliated to the Australian Council of Trade Unions,[10] International Centre for Trade Union Rights, and APHEDA, also known as Union Aid Abroad, the overseas aid agency of the Australian trade union movement.[11]
