Primary Health Care Nurses Day 2026, Wednesday 4 February
Primary Health Care Nurses Day is held on the first Wednesday in February each year. It celebrates the vital work of nurses who care for people outside hospital settings, including aged care, general practice, community health, schools, custodial care and other primary health care settings.
Primary health care is often the first point of contact in our health system, supporting prevention, early intervention and ongoing care. This day shines a spotlight on the 104,000+ primary health care nurses across Australia whose work improves the health and wellbeing of communities nationwide.
