What is the New South Wales Nurses' Association?

The New South Wales Nurses' Association (NSWNA) is the registered union for all nurses in New South Wales.

It represents the industrial interest of nurses employed under all awards and agreements registered in this State in both the public and private sectors. Its role is to protect the interests of nurses and the nursing profession. As well, the Association represents and provides for the professional, educational and industrial welfare of nurses in government and non-government forums at state, national and international level.

The NSWNA has approximately 51,000 members and is affiliated to the Labor Council of NSW and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU). The NSWNA signed a "harmonisation" Agreement in 1988 with the Australian Nursing Federation and eligible members of the NSWNA are deemed to be members of the New South Wales Branch of the Australian Nursing Federation.

The New South Wales Nurses' Association Vision Statement

The NSWNA will be a union that provides quality representation to a growing number of active members who see the NSWNA as the vehicle for their own empowerment.

We will work to be recognised by nurses and all others as a positive contributor to a fairer and just society.
