In this episode of Your Nurse Voice Matters, Wendy Trevarthen sits down with Tammy Copley, a nurse and midwife with 44 years of experience across hospitals, communities, universities, and leadership roles.
Tammy is also the founder of Nurses and Midwives Against Bullying Australia, and together they unpack the complex and confronting issue of workplace bullying.
You’ll hear three key insights:

Defining Bullying Clearly – what it is, what it isn’t, and how to recognise the patterns early.
The Human and Professional Impact – from emotional tolls to physical harm, career disruption, and the ripple effects on families and workplaces.
Pathways Forward – practical steps for those experiencing bullying, ways managers can support staff, and why healthier workplace cultures are vital for retention and patient care.

And at the end, Tammy shares a powerful golden tip—a message of strength that every nurse and midwife needs to hear when faced with toxic culture.
You can contact Tammy through social media channels.
