See the White Paper “Nurses are Essential to Health and Aged Care Reform” presented by the Australian College of Nursing to the parliamentary breakfast held 11 October 2016. A successful presentation attended by the Prime Minister, Minister for Health, Ministers for Medicare and influential others as well as prominent nurses invited from all over Australia.
