From breaking away from traditional models of care to embracing new ways of thinking, the panel explores how nurses and midwives can adapt, lead, and innovate in a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. With a focus on mentorship, lifelong learning, and the courage to ask, “How might we…?” this conversation demonstrates how digital tools can be utilised by nurses and midwives for patient-centred, safe and quality care and stronger connections across the system. Participants include: Alison McMillan (Commonwealth Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer), Kellie Wilton (Senior Midwifery Advisor*), Karrie Long (Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer for Victoria), Annie Butler (ANMF Federal Secretary) and Alicia Graham (Digital Health Educator, Australian Digital Health Agency). Host: Julie Reeves (ANMF Professional Officer and Registered Nurse). * We note that Kellie Wilton was in this role at the time of recording, and is now the Chief Midwifery Officer of the Northern Territory.

This episode of the ANMF Podcast, presented in partnership with the Australian Digital Health Agency, brings together senior leaders in nursing and midwifery to explore how digital health, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), is reshaping clinical roles and care delivery. The discussion emphasises the importance of nursing and midwifery knowledge, curiosity, inclusion, and human judgment in successfully integrating digital tools such as AI into nursing and midwifery practice. Participants include Alison McMillan (Commonwealth Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer), Kellie Wilton (Senior Midwifery Advisor), Annie Butler (ANMF's Federal Secretary), Karrie Long (Victorian Chief Nurse and Midwifery Officer), and Alicia Graham (Digital Health Educator with the Australian Digital Health Agency). Key takeaways include: • AI supports, not replaces, care. Nurses and midwives are essential for making human, in-the-moment decisions. AI can support evidence-based care, but it cannot replicate human judgment, empathy, or adaptability. • Curiosity drives innovation. Embracing a mindset of curiosity and exploration opens new possibilities in how nurses and midwives can use digital tools for better patient outcomes. • Digital tools can drive health equity Tools like telehealth, translation apps, and mobile devices can bridge gaps for culturally and linguistically diverse communities and First Nations people through inclusive design and language access • Trust and safety are essential. Nurses and midwives bring trusted relationships and their contextual knowledge to digital systems. Their expertise is crucial in making AI work effectively, ethically, and safely—especially when it comes to cybersecurity, data sharing, and navigating complex care relationships.
