AMA submission to the Office of the National Rural Health Commissioner on the National Rural and Remote Nurse Generalist Framework

The AMA supports the National Rural and Remote Nurse Generalist Framework as a guide for nurses who plan to work in rural and remote settings, education providers in developing their curriculum content, and employers in supporting their workforce to transition to these settings.    

The AMA acknowledges the expertise and contribution of nurses providing healthcare services and caring for patients in rural settings, especially those with a shortage of medical practitioners, where continuity of care or outreach is often vested in the nurse.

We support ongoing collaboration between the medical and nursing rural generalist pathways, and advocate for a team-based approach to medical practitioner led care which utilise nurses’ training and expertise within their scopes of practice. 

This document presents the AMA’s responses to questions asked in the format of an online survey.
