The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) is a regulatory body responsible for overseeing the nursing and midwifery professions in Australia. It ensures that practitioners meet the required standards of education, practice, and conduct to protect public safety. The NMBA also manages the registration process for nurses and midwives, ensuring they are qualified to provide care. In addition to registration, the NMBA develops and maintains professional standards, guidelines, and codes of conduct for nurses and midwives. It works closely with other organizations, such as the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), to promote safe and effective healthcare practices across the country.
