Cultural safety in healthcare is a learned skill, and it starts early.

"It has shaped the kind of practitioner I want to become - someone who provides care that makes every person feel seen and heard."

- Thuendel Choden | Master of Nursing, Edith Cowan University (ECU)

Earlier this month, ten nursing and midwifery students joined healthcare professionals, researchers, educators and policy makers from across Australia for the Australian Pharmacy Council's Interprofessional Colloquium. Together they explored what culturally safe, inclusive healthcare looks like in practice and what it means for the communities they will one day serve.

Today, on International Nurses Day, we celebrate the nurses who show up every day across hospitals, aged care, primary health and remote communities delivering safe, compassionate and person-centred care.

Celebrated each year on 12 May, International Nurses Day recognises the extraordinary contribution nurses make to the health and wellbeing of communities around the world.

This year's theme, Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives, highlights the importance of investing in and strengthening the nursing workforce to improve health outcomes and help address the world’s biggest health challenges.

At Anmac, supporting a strong, capable and culturally responsive nursing workforce is at the heart of what we do. From setting education standards and accrediting programs to assessing the skills of overseas-born nurses joining Australia’s health system.

Today, we also recognise and thank the nurses within our own organisation for the expertise, leadership and experience they bring to our work every day. Thank you to all nurses for the important difference you make in the lives of individuals, families and communities every single day.

Yesterday, our skilled migration team represented Anmac at the ACT Nursing and Midwifery Careers Expo - ACT Government Health and Community Services

The team had great interactions with nursing and midwifery students who were eager to learn about the sector they are stepping into and where Anmac fits in.

Cate Makings, Skilled Migration Services Manager and Emma Peden, Senior Policy & Projects Officer for Skilled Migration Services presented on our GradReady program and its benefits for students who are looking to pursue the skilled migration pathway.

This was also an important milestone for Anmac as we donned our new colours for the first time at an external event.

This ANZAC Day, we pause.

To remember those who served, those who did not return and those who continue to carry the weight of service.

We honour their sacrifice and reflect on the legacy they leave behind.

Lest we forget. 🌹

If you are an overseas-born nursing or midwifery student graduating mid-year in Australia, our GradReady program may be able to support your next steps.

GradReady allows eligible applicants to obtain a skills assessment while awaiting Ahpra registration – an important step toward skilled migration or employment in Australia.

In our most recent round, more than 2,200 applicants were assessed. The next GradReady application round opens in June.

Our Power, Our Planet. 🌍

Earth Day 2026 is a reminder that lasting change is built by ordinary people doing extraordinary things – in their communities, their workplaces, their everyday lives.

We see that every day in Australia's nurses and midwives. Not waiting for permission. Just showing up, caring deeply and making things better.

Happy Earth Day from all of us at ANMAC.
