An online survey of health and work-related assessments was distributed through the New South Wales Nurses and Midwives Association and professional contacts between June 2014 and February 2015. Results showed that nurses and midwives reported good-very good health overall. With 22.2% intending to leave in the next 12 months, the study findings flagged the importance of health as an influence on intention to leave. Alongside job satisfaction and shift-working, health presents opportunities for workplace initiatives to maintain nurses in the workforce.
