Branch Profile

Nursing in the Northern Territory can range from working in one of five Public Hospitals, one Private Hospital, Community Care Centres, Aged Care facilities and NT Government or Aboriginal Controlled Remote Health Centres. Remote Health Centres are situated in the tropical top end, central desert, coastal or island communities.

The ANF NT Branch's priority is to work towards a positive future for nurses/nursing in the NT. The ANF hopes you will be part of that future by working with the ANF to make your personal contribution to this great profession. ANF NT Branch urges nurses to voice their opinion and to be involved. Modern Industrial Relations and Unionism is about getting organised and taking some personal responsibility. Remember the ANF NT Branch is its members and we are strongest when we take collective action in regards to issues that concern us.

It is important to remember the ANF NT Branch is member funded only.
