Abstract
It's a great time to be living and working in Australia and in particular South Australia. Having moved with my family from the United Kingdom in 2009, I have just celebrated my first year in this wonderful country. The climate and lifestyle of course are not the only attractions. I am particularly impressed by the current government's commitment to health system reform, tackling some of the most deep seated challenges in any modern health system including service integration, improving access, moving to a primary care led service and addressing workforce redesign.
All of these reforms will impact on the shape of nursing in the short, medium and long term. We are fortunate to have the Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer at Federal level ensuring that the right voices are heard and professional and trade union organisations continue to exercise influence in the important local, state and national debates.
