Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce program

Changes to the Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce Program

As part of health reform, the Australian Government will redirect funding from the Bringing Nurses Back into the Workforce (BNBW) Program to a number of new nursing and aged care initiatives.

Nurses already participating in the the BNBW Program, and who continue to be eligible, will receive incentive payments. However, no new applications will be accepted beyond 11 May 2010.

More information on the new initiatives can be found on the Department of Health and Ageing website www.health.gov.au.
