The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme) regulates more than 875,000 registered health practitioners and over 180,000 registered students across 16 health professions.
The Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) is calling for applications for appointment to the Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Committee (NMAC).
The NMAC provides oversight on the outcomes-based assessment (OBA) of the knowledge, clinical skills and professional attributes of internationally qualified nurses and midwives (IQNM) who are seeking registration in Australia. The NMAC also makes recommendations to the NMBA about the OBA for IQNM and associated matters.
Applications are sought from people with a background in nursing and/or midwifery or from other professions or disciplines who have:
- experience and currency in multiple-choice question (MCQ) examination and objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) design, implementation, evaluation and maintenance
- experience in education and/or regulation of health practitioners, preferably within Australia
- knowledge of contemporary nursing and midwifery practice within the Australian health care system
- formal qualifications in health and/or education/pedagogy expertise
- experience and currency in using psychometric analysis of examinations to optimise reliability and validity experience in OSCE examiner recruitment, education and training
- skills and expertise in quality assurance, risk and the employment of the IQNM workforce in an Australian health service offering both nursing and midwifery services, and
- lived experience of successfully completing the NMBA’s current IQNM assessment model.
