I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes that Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM):

(i)   is the national peak body that represents, advocates and supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives at a national level,

(ii)   represents the largest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce, and

(iii)   undertakes extensive activity to build the capacity of non-Aboriginal health professionals to provide culturally-safe work and health service environments for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff and service users across the nursing and midwifery profession; and

(b)   calls on the Government to embed cultural safety in health practitioner legislation and fund CATSINaM beyond 30 June 2018.

Question agreed to.
