NSW Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA)

More qualified trainers for a statewide workforce
The New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association (NSWNMA) serves a diverse and dedicated workforce of nurses and midwives across the state. One of the key challenges faced by the NSWNMA is ensuring their members continually meet the growing demand for qualified trainers and assessors to support clinical requirements and facilitate the integration of new professionals into the workforce.
Given that many nurses work on shift schedules and are spread across vast geographical areas, a flexible and adaptable learning solution was essential.
Study that works around shift work and distance
Nurses and midwives often face time constraints due to their demanding and irregular work schedules. Additionally, providing training across a state as large as New South Wales required a solution that offered ease of access and flexibility.
The NSWNMA needed a training partner capable of providing consistent, accessible learning that catered to the unique schedules of its members, while maintaining high-quality, accredited training for future trainers and assessors.

A flexible program built for nurses and midwives
To address these challenges, TAE Academy partnered with NSWNMA to design a flexible and comprehensive learning solution, tailored specifically for nurses and midwives. It allows them to enhance their skills and meet certification requirements without disrupting their demanding schedules.
- Online enrolment and enquiry: a dedicated NSWNMA page makes it simple for members to access course details, ask questions and enrol from any location.
- Accessible support resources: flyers and fact sheets explain the course and its benefits, with direct access to the TAE Academy enrolments coordinator by phone or email.
- Customised delivery: self-paced learning and virtual classrooms suit the varied schedules of NSWNMA members.
- A consistent learning experience: the TAE Portal gives every learner access to course materials, assessment tools and feedback, whichever mode they choose.
- Dedicated trainer and assessor support: each group has a dedicated trainer who sends reminders, shares Zoom or Teams links and keeps learners on track.
- Self-paced support: learners who study on their own still get full access to a support hotline and online assistance.
414 members enrolled since 2020
Since partnering with TAE Academy in 2020, the NSWNMA has successfully enrolled 414 members into the TAE40116 qualification, delivering over 4,000 Units of Competency via a combination of self-paced learning and virtual classrooms.
This flexible delivery model has allowed nurses and midwives across New South Wales to meet their training and certification requirements, improving their skills and furthering their careers, while balancing the demands of their clinical responsibilities.
