About Nursing Review

Nursing Review

Overview

Nursing Review is an Australian trade publication serving the nursing and midwifery professions, published in print and online by The Intermedia Group. In its own description, carried in media directories, it presents itself as the only newspaper in the country dedicated to reporting issues of importance to nurses, and as essential reading for anyone involved in the health care sector in Australia. That positioning defines its beat precisely: it is not a general health publication, but a working news service for one profession, covering the pay, conditions, clinical practice, funding decisions and workforce reforms that shape nursing and midwifery across Australia.

The publication operates as a daily online news outlet alongside its print edition. When this profile was prepared in October 2026, the website was publishing new material every day, with the most recent articles dated 13 October 2026. Its coverage is organised into clearly labelled streams, including wages, clinical practice, funding, midwifery, career and learning, and industry and reform, together with opinion pieces and clearly identified sponsored content. The result is a title that functions both as a professional newspaper of record for nurses and as a channel through which governments, employers, educators and suppliers speak to the profession.

History

The documented online history of Nursing Review stretches back to at least January 2010: its article archive includes material dated 5 January 2010, and the site retains a deep back catalogue of news and features from the years since. For much of its earlier life the title was associated with APN Educational Media, the specialist publishing business whose stable also included Campus Review, Education Review and Aged Care Insite; directory records from that period list contact addresses on the publisher's apned.com.au domain. Those sister titles served the education and aged care sectors, and Nursing Review occupied the equivalent position for nursing within the same specialist publishing stable.

The title's publishing home has since changed. Its current editorial guidelines are published under The Intermedia Group, and its named editorial and advertising contacts carry intermedia.com.au addresses, placing Nursing Review today within Intermedia's portfolio of business and professional titles. The Intermedia Group is an independent, Sydney-based business-to-business publisher; a company profile records that it was founded in 1989 and is headquartered at Glebe in Sydney. The precise founding year of Nursing Review itself, and the date on which it moved between publishers, are not stated in the sources consulted for this profile, and no claim is made for them here. What the record does show is continuity: a publication that was already publishing online by 2010, and that remains in daily production in 2026.

Programming and Content

Nursing Review's editorial mix is built around the working concerns of nurses and midwives. Its wages coverage follows the industrial and funding decisions that determine what the profession is paid; in October 2026, for example, its lead coverage included a report on a $630 million boost for care sector wages, dated 13 October 2026. Its clinical practice stream reports research and practice changes with direct bedside relevance, including an October 2026 report on rapidly falling child immunisation rates. A funding stream tracks the policy and money decisions behind services, including coverage of proposals to widen access to altruistic surrogacy in Victoria.

Midwifery has its own dedicated stream, reflecting the publication's joint nursing and midwifery remit; recent coverage included Western Australia's first dedicated women's health hub. A career and learning stream covers education and professional development, from finalists in the 2026 nursing and midwifery awards to research on whether nurse educators are ready for artificial intelligence in teaching. Industry and reform coverage follows the structural questions facing the sector, including pandemic preparedness and changes to intravenous fluid supply arrangements reported in October 2026. Opinion pieces by clinicians and commentators run alongside the news, and sponsored content is labelled as such.

The print edition complements the daily website. Directory descriptions of the publication note that it features regular monthly features, articles and news from the nursing community, and its editorial guidelines are written for both print and online publication. Those guidelines invite nurses and other health care professionals to contribute: articles are typically 800 to 1,000 words, written in plain English, structured with clear subheadings, and aimed somewhere the guidelines describe as midway between a professional journal and a newspaper — formal in accuracy, but accessible in tone.

Audience and Reach

The audience is the Australian nursing and midwifery workforce in all its settings: hospital and community nurses, enrolled and registered nurses, midwives, nurse unit managers, educators, researchers, students and the executives who manage nursing services. Nursing and midwifery together form the largest part of Australia's health workforce, and Nursing Review's subject matter — pay agreements, registration and practice standards, clinical evidence, workforce shortages, education pathways — is pitched at readers who live with those issues daily rather than at general readers.

No audited circulation or readership figure for Nursing Review is published in the sources consulted, and this profile makes no claim for one. Directory listings give a modest indication of its social footprint: Feedspot's profile of the site lists followings in the low thousands on Facebook and X. The more telling measure of reach is structural: a single national title for a single national profession, delivered in print and online, means the publication reaches into hospitals, universities, aged care services and community health settings in every state and territory.

Digital Presence

The website at nursingreview.com.au is the publication's daily engine. It publishes news across the day in the streams described above, maintains the archive reaching back to at least 2010, and carries the publication's editorial guidelines and contributor information. Feedspot's directory of Australian health RSS feeds lists the site's feed as active, and the publication maintains social media accounts through which its stories are distributed. The site also serves as the commercial front door for the title: advertising and sponsored content sit within the same stream structure as the editorial, clearly labelled, and media directories route advertising enquiries through the site.

Digital publishing has clearly become the title's primary rhythm: the website's October 2026 output shows multiple stories published across a single week, spanning industrial news, clinical reporting and opinion. The print edition continues in parallel, with contributor guidelines that still specify print requirements and provide print copies to published contributors.

Ownership and Organisation

Nursing Review is published by The Intermedia Group, the independent Sydney-based publisher whose portfolio spans business, professional and industry titles across Australia and New Zealand. The publication's own editorial guidelines name its current team: Rebecca Cox is the managing editor, and Nicola Mohtram is the sales manager. Story ideas are directed to the managing editor, whose contact address is published on the site's articles and guidelines. The Intermedia Group is headquartered at Glebe in Sydney, New South Wales, which is the base recorded for this listing.

Editorially, the publication runs on a contributor model anchored by its own newsroom. The guidelines describe an editor who works with contributors to develop submissions of the right length, style and structure, and who may make small changes to grammar and readability. That model — a small professional editorial team drawing on practising nurses, midwives, academics and health professionals as writers — is characteristic of the title's stable, which historically grouped Nursing Review with Campus Review, Education Review and Aged Care Insite under specialist education and health publishing.
