Our Founding Members
CATSIN (now known as CATSINaM) was founded in 1997 by Dr Sally Goold and a number of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives.
The purpose of CATSINaM was established to represent Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives.
CATSINaM consists of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives including Students as well as retired Nurses and Midwives.
CATSINaM’s primary aim was and still is to increase the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander People in Nursing and Midwifery.
Our organisation has now earned recognition among the peak bodies in Nursing and Midwifery, and in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health, as the peak representative body for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives in Australia.
