Dear All,
It is a real disappointment to me that the national ACMI competencies
have not been adopted by NSW nurses registration board. It deminishes
midwifery as a profession when there is this division.

Dear
Liz
The ACMI competency
standards have not been adopted by all registering authorities. For example
the Nurses Registration Board of NSW has a set of seven competencies for
midwives which bear little resemblance to the ACMI competencies. They
can be access at www.nursesreg.nsw.gov.au.
Part of my role is to
assess overseas qualified midwives seeking authorisation to practice
midwifery. Happy to talk to you about that at anytime
Janet

Hi
Liz....
try the ACMI webite at www.acmi.org.au...under the link of
profssional documents you will find the ACMI Competency Standards for Midwives
(2002). These standards are the minimum 'benchmarks' for midwifery
practice.
