Australian Nurse Teachers Society

Skills Australia is commencing the Annual update of the Skills Occupation List (SOL).  The purpose of the document is to identify occupations that will assist in meeting the long term skills needs of the Australian economy.  Registered Nurses are recognised, however the special skills of Nurse Educators are not recognised in the list.  FYI paediatric surgeons are listed.  In this context I believe that the important role that Nurse Education contributes to the Australian economy should be recognised. 

Please review the document attached and all comments will be included in our submission.  The closing date is December 2011, so this discussion board will close 30th November 2011.
