Under the Nurses and Midwives Act 2006, NMBWAÂ has the power to receive and investigate complaints in respect of a person who is a nurse/midwife or was a nurse/midwife at the time of any alleged offence.
The complaint may originate from a number of sources, usually from an employer or another nurse or midwife. However members of the public, the Office of Health Review, Coroner, Corruption and Crime Commission and other health professionals may submit complaints.
