ANMAC, as an external accreditation entity, is responsible for developing accreditation standards for approval by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) [Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009 (National Law), s 42a]. In developing an accreditation standard ANMAC is required to undertake wide-ranging consultation about the content of the standard [National Law, s 46].  

NMBA approved accreditation standards are published on the ANMAC website [National Law, s 47] and are used to accredit and monitor entry-to-practice nursing and midwifery programs of study.
