Regulation in Leadership Program (RiLP) 2024

Exciting secondment opportunity for two registered nurses/midwives to develop their leadership skills 

  • Are you a registered nurse or midwife who wants to be a leader in your profession? 
  • Do you want to gain hands-on experience of regulation? 

The Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW (NMC) is offering an opportunity for two emerging or existing leaders in nursing and midwifery to participate in a paid development program for three months from 5 February – 3 May 2024.  Participants will gain hands-on experience in the regulation of their profession and an enhanced perspective which is fundamental for leadership roles in nursing and midwifery. 

The successful applicants will engage in a wide range of activities, spanning all aspects of the NMC’s role in managing complaints/notifications about the health, performance and conduct of nurses, midwives and students of both professions. As part of the program the participants will develop a plan, for implementation after the program, to support their employing health service and Council to influence professional standards and safe practice. The opportunity is suited to prospective or current leaders and managers in nursing and midwifery with an interest in how regulation works to keep the public safe.  

Applicants must submit: 

  • A response to the two targeted questions (1-2 pages) and a current CV (no more than 5 pages) 

  • Evidence of continuing professional development  

  • Evidence of employer support (employer support form)
