The South Australia Rural Nursing and Midwifery Workforce Plan 2021-2026 was developed through engagement and consultation with rural clinicians, regional and metropolitan local health networks, training and workforce providers, and a range of other stakeholders. It is a broad plan to grow and strengthen the regional, rural and remote nursing and midwifery workforce.

In reference to the Consultation Draft, CRANAplus presented feedback on proposals and a range of options to support recruitment, retention and professional development of the workforce within the South Australian context. Concerns and priorities of CRANAplus members informed the scope of CRANAplus’ feedback.
