On 23rd October, our CEO, Tanya Vogt, proudly attended the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation’s (ANMF) centenary celebration in Sydney. The ANMF’s story is one of passion and commitment, standing as a beacon of advocacy for nurses, midwives, personal carers, and the communities they serve.

Reflecting on the event, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care, Ged Kearney, aptly stated, “The ANMF story is one of passion and commitment for better care and improved patient outcomes. Nurses are a force to be reckoned with – we have adapted with the times.”

The event, hosted by the Federal President, Sally-Anne Jones, Federal Secretary Annie Butler and Federal Assistant Secretary Lori-Anne Sharp, brought together guests, including Health and Aged Care Minister Mark Butler, Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Senator Murray Watt, Assistant Minister for Health and Aged Care Ged Kearney, and union leaders to celebrate the ANMF’s legacy of strength, unity, and progress.

From 700 members in 1924 to over 326,000 today, the ANMF has fought tirelessly for better pay, improved working conditions, and safer healthcare policies that enhance patient care. Congratulations on this incredible milestone -100 years of strength, unity, and dedication. We look forward to continued collaboration as we work toward even better outcomes for Australia’s healthcare system.
