What makes NPAV the best union for nurses and midwives across Victoria and Tasmania?
From comprehensive insurance coverage and expert legal representation to dedicated advocacy for better working conditions, enterprise bargaining, and fostering continuous professional development (CPD), we are committed to providing you with all the necessary tools and resources to support and enhance your career.
When it comes to protecting your professional reputation, NPAV has you covered. Our comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance policy offers up to $10 million in coverage, ensuring you're safeguarded against unforeseen circumstances. With unlimited retroactive cover and run-off cover for 84 months, you can practise with confidence, knowing your obligations under the National Law are met. Joining NPAV means peace of mind and compliance with professional standards.
Navigating the complexities of the healthcare industry can be daunting, but with NPAV, you're never alone. Our expert industrial advocates and legal support team are considered some of Australia's best. We guarantee expert legal support for a range of workplace issues, including Enterprise Bargaining, pay disputes, internal conflicts, bullying, and more. Most importantly, we guarantee a resolution to your issue. Read about how we helped a casual nurse facing termination or how we successfully dismissed unproven AHPRA allegations.
At NPAV, we believe in the power of collective bargaining and advocating for better working conditions. Our skilled negotiators will fight tooth and nail to secure fair Enterprise Agreements that reflect your rights and aspirations. We also advocate for positive change in workplace policies, procedures, and systems.

Continuous professional development is the cornerstone of growth and success. That's why NPAV offers RedU—a vast online learning platform specifically designed to meet your registration requirements. With hundreds of hours of diverse content, you'll have access to nursing-specific, teaching, healthcare worker, and general industry courses.
We also offer free CPD courses, like our popular webinar Dealing with Bullying.
Your membership funds are never used for party political purposes or to support any particular political party. NPAV is solely focused on asserting the interests of our members.
We pride ourselves on being the most contactable professional association in Australia. A response to all frontline enquiries made by members is guaranteed within 24 business hours. If you don't receive a response, we'll give you $25 off your next member payment.
We back our members, no matter what. We fight for you, regardless of the circumstances, because your rights and interests are our top priority. With NPAV by your side, you'll never face your battles alone.
We invite you to experience the support, protection, and advocacy of NPAV yourself.
