The State Government has provided public sector nurses and midwives with a new EBA offer.

From 1 July, the ANMF (SA Branch) is proud to expand Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) coverage to support more ways of working for midwives including privately practicing and independent midwives (with and without Endorsement).

Now offering Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) in the following areas:

• Antenatal education & support
• Birth planning
• Lifestyle & health education

We know this is just the beginning, but we are ready to push forward, stand with midwives, and drive the changes that women, families, and midwives rightfully deserve.

This is about choice, autonomy, and expanding what’s possible when midwives lead.

Let’s celebrate a new era of care. 💫

Earlier this week ANMF SA representatives met with State Health Minister Chris Picton on a range of issues including the state of epilepsy services at CALHN and transitional care model.

We wanted to make sure our message about respecting and valuing nurses and midwives was front of mind for the Minister, as we continue bargaining for a new Enterprise Agreement.
