About Us
Who we are
The Nurses' Professional Association of NSW (NPAN) is a professional association whose principal purpose is to protect and promote the interests of members in matters concerning their employment or professional engagement. No membership fees are used to support any political party (including the ALP), so we are able to source and/or provide representation for all members, on all issues, better than our competitors. Savings of up to $354 are just the beginning.
What we believe
The Nurses' Professional Association of NSW is a group of nurses who want to provide an alternate voice to the ANMF. They wanted to join 10's of thousands of other workers who had decided to form independent associations under the Red Union banner.
NPAN supports:
- Restructuring healthcare to focus on patient care above all.
- Decentralising hospitals away from the current bureaucrat-heavy system to one that puts hospitals back in the hands of front-line healthcare workers.
- Preventing the erosion of the nursing scope of practice.
- Making it easier for nurses to speak out publicly without fearing for their registrations.
- Work with NSW Health and private employers to ensure nurses are receiving their minimum entitlements (including workplace safety, discrimination, industrial disputes, payroll issues & more).
NPAN remains fully committed to defending your right to perform your work without unnecessary interference from Government bureaucrats and respects the enormous amount of medical training undergone to achieve this right.
