International Nurse Regulators Collaborative (INRC)

The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia is part of the International Nurse Regulators Collaborative (INRC). In 2011, the National Board signed an MOU with nursing and midwifery regulators from Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, United States of America, Singapore and United Kingdom.

The purpose of the INRC is to cooperate and form closer links between the regulatory organisations, to develop standards, exchange information and knowledge and develop joint research projects. Representatives of the National Board attended an INRC forum hosted in Ottawa Canada in November 2013 and in Geneva in May 2014.
