I am an RN and Midwife, a proud Wiradjuri woman, and a passionate unionist. I have been a member of the NSWNMA since becoming a student nurse in 2010. Growing up in a family of lifelong unionists taught me the importance of standing together, advocating for fairness, and never leaving anyone behind.

Our union is strongest when every nurse, midwife and carer feels valued, supported, and heard. We are more than an industrial organisation, we are a community that empowers each other to improve our workplaces and achieve better outcomes for those in our care.

As a founding member of the NSWNMA Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Member Circle, I am committed to advancing reconciliation, strengthening cultural safety, and championing equity across our professions and health system.

I seek your support to help shape a future where nurses and midwives are respected, recognised, and empowered to provide the high-quality care our communities deserve. Together, we can build a stronger union that delivers safer staffing, fairer conditions, culturally safe workplaces, and a sustainable, world-class health system for everyone.

the whaites + bough team

Every win we’ve secured comes back to one truth: we are always stronger together.

Under the NSWNMA's current leadership of Michael Whaites and Katrina Bough, this union has continually pushed forward – fighting hard for safer workplaces, better conditions, and genuine respect for the work we do.

Now, it’s time to protect that progress and keep building a better future for our union.
