National Rural & Remote Nursing Generalist Framework 2023-2027: Stakeholder Survey 2024

Overview

Welcome to the National Rural and Remote Nursing Generalist Framework 2023-2027: Stakeholder Survey 2024.

The National Rural and Remote Nursing Generalist Framework 2023-2027 (the Framework) was launched by the Assistant Minister for Rural and Regional Health, the Hon. Emma McBride, in March 2023. 

The Framework describes the unique context of practice and core capabilities for rural and remote area nursing practice and was created to support Registered Nurses (RN) reach their optimal scope of practice in rural and remote Australia. The Framework is intended to be a tool and guide to benefit RNs in rural and remote practice settings, their employers, mentors, education providers, and nursing and midwifery colleagues working in health care in general. Since its publication, it has been independently implemented by the nursing workforce and education sector, unaccompanied by funding.  

If you are a nurse, administrator, educator, researcher, health professional, employer or a representative of an organisation in the nursing, tertiary education and health sector we are seeking your feedback about your awareness and use of the Framework. 

Consultation is open from Thursday 2 May 2024 and closes at 23:59 (AEST) on Friday 31 May 2024.

The survey is for both individuals and those completing on behalf of an organisation and will take approximately five minutes to complete. We appreciate your time sharing your views. 

Privacy Notice 

The survey can be completed anonymously, and individual identifiable responses will not be made publicly available. As part of making your submission, you consent to having your de-identified response included in any Department information relating to the review of the Framework. This may include any reports, publications or presentations relating to this consultation. 

Why your views matter

We are undertaking a review of the Framework to understand how it has been implemented and used since its publication. Feedback received from individuals and organisations will be valuable in this review. Information provided in this survey will inform the Office of the National Rural Health Commissioner and the Steering Committee to guide planning and the next phase of promotion and implementation. Thank you.
