Advancing the Future of Nursing Education
The National Nurse Education Conference is Australia’s premier biennial gathering of nurse educators, academic leaders, clinicians, researchers and education professionals.
As the flagship event of the Australian Nurse Teachers’ Society (ANTS), the conference brings together the individuals and organisations leading innovation and shaping the future of nursing and workforce development.
Through a variety of presentation modes including invited and submitted papers and posters, debates and panel discussions, the ‘Conference Program’ will explore the contemporary nurse education issues shaping the nursing profession, with a strong focus on innovation in nurse and midwifery education and workforce engagement.
Key themes will include designing the future of nurse and midwifery education, innovative approaches to teaching and learning, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing and midwifery. The program will showcase emerging research, best clinical practice, and practical strategies to strengthen the nursing workforce, enhance educational outcomes, and support culturally safe, inclusive, and sustainable healthcare.
We look forward to meeting all delegates in the Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart, on the beautiful waterfront of nipaluna (Hobart), from 5–7 May 2027, for an inspiring and rewarding National Nurse Education Conference.

President of ANTS
