Our Structure

The New South Wales Nurses and Midwives’ Association (NSWNMA) is the registered union for all nurses and midwives in New South Wales.

Our Structure

The Association depends on the commitment of its members to make a difference. The more active and involved you are, the stronger the union. Membership empowers nurses and midwives to actively participate in shaping every aspect of their profession, from pay claims and workload relief to workers compensation and legal protection .

Active democratic branches throughout the state allow members to control their own agenda and ensure that each workplace has a voice in the Association’s direction. This chart shows how individual members can affect Association policy by getting involved.
