Members Eligible for Full ANMF ACT Branch Services:

• ANMF ACT membership is open to employees in the ACT nursing and midwifery industry. Different fees are set for those working in the aged care sector and the public/private sector.
• ANMF ACT Undergraduate Student Nurse/Midwife (USN/M) membership is available to students who are employed in paid USN/M roles under the ACT Public Sector Nursing and Midwifery Enterprise Agreement.

• If you are relocating and would like to continue your membership with the ANMF in another Branch, please fill out a request form and submit to anmfact@anmfact.org.au.
• If you are a member of the ANMF in other Branch, and would like to be a member of ANMF ACT Branch, please contact your current Branch and request a transfer of your membership.
• If you work in multiple States/Territories, you should maintain your membership with the ANMF Branch in the State or Territory where you are employed for majority of the time. If you're a member who is working in both the ACT and another State/Territory (where the majority of your employment takes place in ACT) or have accepted a contract employment for less than 12 weeks in another State/Territory, you should notify the ANMF ACT Branch in writing by sending an email to our Membership Team at anmfact@anmfact.org.au, providing details of your workplace and duration of your secondary or contracted employment.

Please ensure that your membership is current, and membership payments are successfully made.
