Stakeholder Register

In keeping with its agreed governance arrangements, the Taskforce established a general stakeholder list and also initiated contact with key stakeholders to seek a nominated liaison person. The online register facility allowed any interested individual or group to keep up-to-date with progress and outcomes, throughout the life of the Taskforce.

In the final stages, approximately 675 stakeholder organisations or individuals had registered and were receiving regular information.

The major stakeholder groupings included:

• nurses and midwives from across Australia
• governments and workforce planners
• regulatory authorities
• education and training providers
• professional colleges, national organisations, peak nursing bodies and unions
• employers and services providers
• other health workers and health professionals
• health consumers and the Australian community.
