For over 15 years, the Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association’s annual Workforce Survey has provided a comprehensive snapshot of the working conditions and professional concerns faced by primary healthcare nurses and midwives working across the country.

It remains the only national survey focused on the nearly 100,000 nurses and midwives working outside of hospitals and in the community.

APNA uses the insights of primary healthcare nurses and midwives about their working conditions, concerns, and aspirations, when helping governments and policymakers better understand the sector and how they can better utilise, attract, and retain this vital workforce.

APNA needs help to build a bigger picture about primary healthcare nursing and midwifery in Australia so it can continue lobbying governments for more support and investment.

If you work outside of a hospital, you are providing primary health care, and APNA wants to hear from you!  You do not need to be an APNA member to complete the survey. 

The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete, and completed surveys go into a draw to win one of two $1,000 Red Balloon vouchers or 10 x $100 cash cards.
