What we do

Nurses and midwives work in every type of health setting, in widely dispersed geographical locations and in every kind of clinical practice area. With over 360,000 nurses and midwives in Australia, they are uniquely positioned to have a profound impact on the health and wellbeing of everyone they provide care to.

To support the wonderful work of nurses and midwives, the Rosemary Bryant Foundation was established to raise funds to improve health outcomes through nursing and midwifery research.
