Professional Conduct

To maintain the highest standards of patient care, the Board reviews all complaints about the professional conduct or health of a registered nurse.

The Board takes any complaint very seriously, even though they represent only 0.2% of the profession.

The Professional Boundaries Guidelines for Registered Nurses in Victoria provides guidance on the appropriate professional relationship between a patient and nurse. A breach of professional boundary guidelines may constitute unprofessional conduct. The guidelines are available below.
