I have recently been charged with a criminal offence, and I am concerned that this will impact on my registration and ability to practice – what should I do?

If you are charged with an offence, we recommend you contact the NSWNMA as soon as possible for individual advice from a Legal Officer. Depending on your personal circumstances and the offence you have been charged with, you may be required to inform the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) before renewal. At renewal, all changes to criminal history must be declared.
