Nursing and midwifery labour force, South Australia, 2004
Concerns about the current and future capacity of the nursing workforce have led to a number of national reviews, including the National Review of Nursing Education (DEST 2002) and the Senate Community Affairs Committee Inquiry into Nursing (SCAC 2002). Data show an overall increase in nurse numbers over the decade to 2003 (AIHW 2003) but, despite this, the pattern of increase in part-time work, combined with population growth, had the net effect of reducing nursing supply per head of population. Over that decade, South Australia has seen its nursing supply levels shift from being well above the national rate to almost the same, before rising again. Although the South Australian nursing supply declined at a quicker rate than nationally, data show it has also recovered sooner, experiencing its lowest point in 1999, while the lowest point for national supply occurred in 2001. Nursing supply in South Australia continued to grow more quickly than national supply and was again well above the national rate by 2003.

Health labour force National Minimum Data Set: National Health Data Dictionary, version 12
A National Minimum Data Set (NMDS) is a core set of data elements agreed by the National Health Information Management Group for mandatory collection and reporting at a national level. One NMDS may include data elements that are also included in another National Minimum Data Set. A NMDS is contingent upon a national agreement to collect uniform data and to supply it as part of the national collection, but does not preclude agencies and service providers from collecting additional data to meet their own specific needs.The National Health Data Dictionary contains definitions of data elements that are included in NMDS collections in the health sector, including data elements used to derive some of the performance indicators required under Australian Health Care Agreements (bilateral agreements between the Commonwealth and State/Territory governments about funding and delivery of health services).The following pages contain the Health labour force NMDS and its associated data elements and data element concepts.
