AUSTRALIAN NURSING AND MIDWIFERY FEDERATIONINNOVATE RECONCILIATION ACTION PLAN December 2016 - December 2018

Our vision for reconciliation

Our vision for reconciliation is health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our vision can be achieved through building relationships

with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses, midwives and broader communities, working together to identify and provide opportunities to build

capacity and realise potential.

We will work towards our vision by modelling respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; promoting understanding of their rights and

leading the nursing and midwifery professions in respect and sharing knowledge with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

We will adopt the principles of reconciliation as part of our core work, and will model and encourage promotion of reconciliation throughout the nursing

and midwifery professions.

Our business

Established in 1924, the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) is the largest professional and industrial organisation in Australia for

nurses, midwives and assistants in nursing, with our core business being the professional and industrial representation of our members and the

professions of nursing and midwifery. The ANMF takes a leadership role for the nursing and midwifery professions by participating in the development

of policy relating to nursing and midwifery practice, professionalism, regulation, education, training, workforce, socio-economic welfare, health and aged

care, community services, veterans’ affairs, workplace health and safety, industrial relations, social justice, human rights, immigration, foreign affairs and

law reform.

The ANMF structure consists of a Federal Office (across Canberra and Melbourne locations) which is nationally focussed, and Branches in each State

and Territory of Australia, which are jurisdiction-focussed. A combined national membership of over 250,000 nurses, midwives, students and assistants

in nursing, includes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members. ANMF members are employed in a wide range of settings including urban, rural and

remote locations in public and private health, primary health care and in aged care.


The ANMF Branches engage directly in membership activities within their jurisdictions, while the Federal Office undertakes lobbying at a national level

on behalf of the organisation as a whole. Information on the work of the ANMF Federal Office such as current and past national campaigns, policy work

(including submissions and policy statements), online education programs, and publications (including Australian Nursing and Midwifery Journal), can be

found on the ANMF Federal Office website at: http://www.anmf.org.au

This Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) is developed for the ANMF Federal Office staff, of which there are twenty-five people employed across its

Canberra and Melbourne locations. There are no employees of the ANMF Federal Office who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples, at

the time of writing.

Our RAP

The ANMF has made a commitment to work to address health inequalities experienced by many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This RAP

acts on that commitment and helps to focus our aim of keeping the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the national agenda.

Our RAP is an important objective of the ANMF Strategic Plan and articulates our vision to influence nursing, midwifery, health, and social justice policy.

Of essence, this RAP is an opportunity to contribute, on behalf of nursing and midwifery, to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander peoples.

The ANMF RAP was initially championed by a dedicated group of staff within Federal Office. Their work is now undertaken by a formalised RAP Working

Group, described below. The Federal Office RAP, which may provide a framework for the ANMF State and Territory Branches to develop their own

activities, has been endorsed by the ANMF Federal Executive.

Our RAP has been developed and revised over time by the RAP Working Group, which has positions for an elected official (Federal Assistant

Secretary), professional staff (Federal Professional Officer and Research Officer/Librarian), and an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander nurse who is an

ANMF member. The RAP Working Group may co-opt other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ANMF members from time to time. This Working Group

meets at least twice per year and is responsible for developing, implementing, reviewing and reporting progress against the RAP within the Federal

Office of the ANMF.


Faye Clarke, a Gunditjmara, Wotjaboluk and Ngarrindjeri woman, an ANMF member and member of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM), has provided invaluable advice during the development of this RAP as a member of our RAP Working

Group.

The ANMF provided significant support for the establishment of CATSIN in the early 1990s. Due to the historical and on-going close relationship

between the ANMF and (now) CATSINaM, the ANMF RAP has been reviewed by CATSINaM through their Chief Executive Officer, as an external

consultation, and approval obtained for the actions and deliverables of mutual involvement.

Progress on the RAP will be reported to the ANMF Federal Executive and the membership. The ANMF will also provide an annual progress report to

Reconciliation Australia which will be publically available on our website: http://www.anmf.org.au

Our Reconciliation Journey

The first RAP developed by the ANMF Federal Office was launched in 2009 and registered with Reconciliation Australia. Under this RAP the majority

of Federal Office staff in 2010 undertook a cultural awareness day which included the experience of a guided cultural walk along the banks of the

Yarra River, Melbourne, and an afternoon cultural program at the Koori Heritage Trust. The RAP has also been the driving force for Federal Office staff

participating in events of significance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples such as: NAIDOC Week (National Aboriginal and Islander Day

Observance Committee), Mabo Day, National Reconciliation Week, National Sorry Day and, Close the Gap activities.

Our journey since 2009 has led us to understand more fully the capacity and sphere of influence of the Federal Office in refining and realising our

RAP objectives. We have improved our vigilance with including the “Welcome to Country” address at ANMF official functions, and acknowledging

Traditional Custodians of the land in meetings/presentations and in written communications such as on official letterhead and as footers to emails. We

have increasingly raised awareness in ANMF submissions of the specific implications for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives of

proposed government policies.


We have continued to work closely with CATSINaM in such endeavours as the establishment of LINMEN (Leaders in Indigenous Nursing and Midwifery

Education Network), a network of nursing and midwifery leaders that provides a platform for ensuring all education programs for nurses and midwives

include cultural safety and respect in the teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health, histories and cultures.

We have also supported CATSINaM through participation in their Cultural Safety and Respect program, and in events such as the Parliamentary

breakfast, which was held to showcase the work of CATSINaM and raise the profile of the organisation.

ANMF continues to collaborate with CATSINaM through joint participation in the South Pacific Nurses Forum (SPNF), where we play a leadership role

thoughout the event, and support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives to attend.

Staff profiles which reflect positive progress by our organisation: In the spirit of our RAP, Julianne Bryce, Senior Federal Professional Officer and

Elizabeth Foley, Federal Professional Officer, undertook a two day Cultural Safety and Respect workshop hosted by our colleague organisation the

Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM), in 2014. Julie Reeves, who subsequently joined our Professional

Team as a Federal Professional Officer, also completed that same workshop in 2014.

RelationshipsThe relationships and connections that ANMF develops with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations, including nurses and midwives and broader communities, are fundamental to enabling the activities outlined in our RAP. The ANMF seeks to foster positive, respectful relationships and genuine opportunities for communication and cooperation. We seek to listen and learn, and to work sensitively and ably with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and organisations to bring about health equality, to build capacity and realise potential.
