role
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of the Northern Territory is a statutory body responsible for ensuring the public is protected through the regulation of nurses and midwives registered in the Northern Territory.
The Nursing and Midwifery Board carries out this mandate by:
- Ensuring that all nurses and midwives have received educational preparation to an agreed national standard;
- Dealing with issues of conduct and taking any disciplinary action as required;
- Administering the framework under which impaired nurses and midwives can be rehabilitated without necessarily losing their license to practice;
- Assisting to improve nurses and midwives practitioners performance should it be found to be below accepted professional standards, and
- Ensuring that all nurses and midwives either currently registered or intending to be registered are competent and fit to practise.
The Health Professions Licensing Authority (HPLA) provides a bureau service to the Nursing and Midwifery Board and carries out administrative duties as directed by it.
The objectives of the Health Practitioners Act 2004 (the Act) requires the Nursing and Midwifery Board to:
- Protect and promote the health and safety of the people of the Territory;
- Promote the highest standard of professional health care practice in the Territory;
- Determine the standards for registration and enrolment of health practitioners and for professional health care practice in the Territory, and
Facilitate the continuing competence of health practitioners in the Territory.
