Nurses and Midwives WA (NMWA) is an Australian political party, founded in 2023 by the Australian Nursing Federation (ANF).[1]

The idea of registering a political party was first floated by the ANF in August 2023, and was formalised months later in November.[2][3]

The party achieved the 500 members needed for registration in February 2024 and plans to contest the 2025 Western Australian state election, running candidates in the Legislative Council.[4][5]
