Why did the NPAA start?

To give members a choice of representation. Nurses, have the ability to join an association that's truly independent, not one selected by the Government or your employer. (See our membership fees for the comparative rates).

All employee Registered Nurses, Enrolled Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Managers and Midwives can be members. AIN’s, Care Workers, Allied Health Professionals, Paramedics, Wardpersons and support staff and Nursing students can join as affiliates and access all insurance covers and legal support.

Will my membership fees be used for party political campaigns or fighting funds?

No and No. That’s why our membership fees are half the price.

What legal support is available?

Our expert industrial advocate and legal support team are considered to be some of Australia's best. We provide industrial support for a variety of workplace issues including Enterprise Bargaining, industrial disputes, pay disputes, bullying and more. Most importantly, we guarantee a resolution of your issue.

Enterprise/Agreement bargaining

We guarantee strong advocacy on workplace policy, procedures and system changes. Under Federal Law, you are entitled to appoint one of our NPAA representatives to the bargaining table to negotiate your Enterprise Agreement.

NPAA The Voice

We’re a Union for Nurses that doesn’t:

1. Tell members how to think

2. Tell members how to vote

3. Spend member’s money on 1 or 2

We do:

1. The best PI Insurance for Nurses

2. Workplace & Legal Protection

3. Consultative Case Management

4. Excellent Member Support & Services

As members, you control the union, we don’t control you.

Imagine being a Nurse voting No, and they use your money to promote the opposite. Or vice versa. It’s just disrespectful.

HAVE YOU seen vote yes propaganda in the workplace?

We have heard reports of ANMF posters in the workplace arguing the “yes” case. This is bad in a private workplace, but in a public workplace, like QLD Health it could be a breach of the Public Sector Code of Conduct.

If you have any evidence of resources being inappropriately used to promote one side over the other in this political issue - please let us know. We intend to take action.

Staff have a right to expect their workplaces to be impartial and free from coercion.
