to find out more about CDNM

The Council of Deans of Nursing and Midwifery (Australia & New Zealand) (CDNM) (or the ‘Council’), formerly known as the Australian Council of Deans of Nursing (ACDN), is the peak organisation that represents the Deans and Heads of the Schools of Nursing in universities that offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in nursing and midwifery throughout Australia and New Zealand. It aims to develop and nurture leadership in nursing and midwifery education, advocate for the nursing and midwifery professions by shaping education, research and innovation for professional effectiveness in Australia and New Zealand, represent providers of higher education for nurses and midwives to develop, sustain and advance both professions, and lead collaboration and consultation on behalf of the nursing and midwifery professions to ensure the best conditions for nursing and midwifery education, research, regulation, and future workforce needs.

The Council was established in 1993. It is governed by its Constitution and a Board of Directors duly elected by the Council’s members (Elected Directors) or appointed by the Board (Appointed Directors) at the annual general meeting. Elections are conducted every two years. Members of the Board are eligible for re-election.

Two members of the Board are appointed without formal Council elections. When the Chair’s term of office expires, he/she shall become the Immediate Past Chair. In addition, members from New Zealand will elect one New Zealand representative to be on the Board.

 

Council meetings are usually convened in March, July and October of each year.
