23.01.2022 Legislative Assembly: Hansard Wednesday, 3 June 2020 Second Reading Mr FOLEY (Albert ParkMinister for Mental Health, Minister for Equality, Minister for Creative Industries) (10:37):... "The Bill also makes amendments to the Child Safety and Wellbeing Act 2005 to prescribe Maternal and Child Health nurse qualifications into legislation. For over 100 years, the Maternal Child and Health Service has played a key role in promoting health, wellbeing, safety, learning and developmental outcomes for all children and their families. The Maternal and Child Health Service Guidelines provide the integrated framework and approach to service delivery in Victoria and outline the required qualifications for Maternal and Child Health nurses. The high-level of education in this workforce ensures they are well-qualified to provide a broad scope of practice across general, midwifery and maternal, child and family health nursing. The amendment to the Child Safety and Wellbeing Act provides a legislative mandate for compliance with this requirement, ensuring employment and engagement of only appropriately qualified nursing staff within Maternal and Child Health Services. Prescribing Maternal and Child Health nurse qualifications into legislation safeguards and upholds the education and knowledge of the workforcemaintaining a focus on maternal health, as well as child health and developmentas key capabilities of Maternal and Child Health nurses. This Bill will strengthen the delivery of child, maternal and family centred practice and ensure the provision of high-quality and consistent Maternal and Child Health services across Victoria. Nurses and midwives underpin our health system; dedicating their lives to caring for others. In 2020, we celebrate the International Year of the Nurse and Midwifecoinciding with the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingales birth. This year is an opportunity to showcase the outstanding work and contribution these professionals make to the health and wellbeing of the communityand we will forever remember this year as one where nurses and midwives demonstrated extraordinary commitment through their care, compassion and capability during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Bill goes some way to recognising their dynamic roles within the health system, the changing structures in which they practice and the evolving nature of care they provide to us as the community. I commend the Bill to the house." Ms McLEISH (Eildon) (10:37): I move: That the debate be now adjourned. Motion agreed to and debate adjourned. Ordered that debate be adjourned for two weeks. Debate adjourned until Wednesday, 17 June.

20.01.2022 Hi Members, Facebook Has Changed How They Do Things So Working On That IssueHi Members, Facebook Has Changed How They Do Things So Working On That Issue

18.01.2022 NOW RECOGNISED Over the past 4 years I have put forward and worked on legislative changes at a State level, to implement a standard that recognises MCHNs qualifications & hard work, built over the years and cement them in as a benchmark for all future MCHNs. The original motion was passed unanimously by the +800 ANMF delegates at the ANMF State Conference in June 2019. You may have missed it but on Tuesday, 24 November 2020 the change via an Amendment to the Act;... Part 7B - Qualifications required for maternal and child health nurses. Section - 46ZAA - Maternal and Child Health Centres. Section - 46ZAB - State-wide telephone services. passed the upper and lower houses and then received Royal Assent by The Governor, The Honourable LINDA DESSAU, AC thus finally bringing the process that we started in June 2019 to a conclusion. I want to thank all the Members of the Upper and Lower House of the Victorian Parliament who assisted me in this progress, the Committee, Members and especially the previous Minister for Health the Hon. Jenny Mikakos and VAMCHN Secretary Catie Bortolot. Mission Accomplished - Stronger Every Day. Best Regards Lisa Auchettl President
