How to sponsor a biography

The names of nurses for the database are nominated proposed by groups or individuals and who support an official biography completed by donating $1000 to the ANHMP. The money is used to offset costs in researching the individual's biography, entering the data and maintaining the database.

Through the ongoing Federation Project, the ANMHP aims to achieve recognition of women's contributions to the greater welfare of the community. The ANMHP proposes to increase the profile of nurses and midwives and by continuing to contribute biographies of nurses and midwives to the Bright Sparcs database.

The Federation Project seeks financial support as there are many outstanding past and present nurses who deserve to have their contribution and achievements permanently recorded with those of their peers in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and medicine.

The ANMHP is an initiative of the School of Nursing, University of Melbourne. The sites can be accessed via:
