More than 2000 Victorian nursing and midwifery students will miss out on a graduate program place in 2026.
This is happening at the same time the health sector is forecasting a nursing and midwifery shortage in the next few years.
ANMF (Vic Branch) is calling on the Victorian Government to fund additional graduate places. We urge the government to hold urgent discussions with the private acute sector about their level of investment in graduate nurses and urgently explore all viable options to ensure we have a sustainable nursing and midwifery workforce into the future.
