National Placement Evaluation Centre 2023 Summary

In Australia degree level nursing and midwifery students are required to complete professional pracMce experiences (PEP), or midwifery pracMce experiences (MPE), also known as clinical placements, as part of their educaMon. For both professions the accreditaMon authority requires that there is monitoring and student evaluaMons of clinical placements. The NaMonal Placement EvaluaMon Centre (NPEC) was commissioned in 2022 and funded by the Council of Deans of Nursing and Midwifery (Australia and New Zealand) (CDNM) and the Australian Nursing and Midwifery AccreditaMon Council (ANMAC). NPEC is now owned and funded by Health EducaMon Services Australia (HESA) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ANMAC.
