Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives
Description
CATSINaM was founded in 1997 to formally represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives. CATSIN is made up of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives, students of nursing and midwifery and has retired nurses and midwives as associate members.
CATSIN’s primary aim is to increase the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples into nursing and midwifery. Recruitment means getting people to think about nursing or midwifery as a career and to apply to study. Retention is about getting people to stay in the profession once they start studying or start nursing or midwifery.
CATSIN is also dedicated to ensure all nurses and midwives have meaningful, discrete courses on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, history and culture in all courses leading to enrolment, registration or endorsement as a nurse or midwife. CATSIN aims to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing and midwifery students have targeted support and assistance to ensure their access to education is equitable.
CATSIN represents Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives throughout the nursing and midwifery professions, to governments and in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

National Framework for Maternity Services: Consultation draft for feedback | Your say | Queensland Government
CONSULTATION: The National Framework for Maternity Services (NFMS) provides guidance for planning and delivery of women-centred, safe high quality health care across the maternity continuum of care, with the aim to ensure equitable access to maternity care for all women that supports optimal outcomes for a woman and her baby. The NFMS follows on from the National Maternity Services Plan (2010-2015) with the expectation that jurisdictions will align their jurisdictional plans with the vision, values and principles to improve health outcomes and the woman’s experience through her maternity continuum of care. The NFMS sets out an overarching vision, values and underpinning principles to guide the further development of maternity services across Australia. A consultation draft NFMS has been developed, following the completion of the first phase of consultation. This first phase of consultation gathered perspectives from a range of stakeholders, including health consumers as well as the medical, nursing and midwifery workforce through professional bodies. The consultation draft NFMS is now available for broad consultation. You can provide feedback by clicking here and completing the survey: https://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/gi/consultation/3805/view.html
