Welcome to the Nurses Board of VictoriaThe Nurses Board of Victoria is a self-funded statutory authority incorporated under the Health Professions Registration Act 2005. Now in its 14th year of operation, nurses have been regulated in Victoria for more than 80 years. As an organisation responsible to a Board, we are all aware of our legislative commitments and functions as well as our role within the greater Victorian community, our largest stakeholder. Other stakeholders include all registered nurses, education providers, Directors of Nursing, unions, the Department of Human Services and the Minister for Health. The Board regulates and promotes nurses and midwives in the interests of the Victorian public and the nursing and midwifery profession as a whole. We are proactive in our communications with the public and other bodies, both in Australia and overseas, as we constantly monitor the trends affecting the profession and their delivery of healthcare. All our functions are open and transparent, showing ethical, responsible and accountable management of our role. We take a leadership role and are actively involved with projects around Australia and overseas, particularly those relating to education and regulation. We continually support nursing research for the betterment of the profession and public. We protect the Victorian public by regulating all fields of nursing, ensuring those using the healthcare system can be confident that anyone bearing the title of registered nurse (RN) or registered midwife is educated and competent, meeting the high standards required by us for registration.
