Public consultation open - Review of EN and RN standards for practice

16 Jan 2026

Consultation on the review of the Enrolled nurse standards for practice and the Registered nurse standards for practice is now open. Now is the time to have your say.

What is the consultation about?

The NMBA is consulting on the revised Enrolled nurse standards for practice and Registered nurse standards for practice (EN and RN standards for practice)  and we want to hear from you.

The EN and RN standards for practice identify the knowledge, skills and professional attributes needed for safe and competent practice as an EN or RN in Australia. These standards have  been reviewed to ensure they remain current, are based on the best available evidence, and are aligned to international regulatory practice.
