The introduction of the ANMC's Continuing Competence Framework means that an increasing number of Australian Registered Nurses and Registered Midwives will be required to submit a portfolio if audited in order to maintain their registration. As several professional organisations and State regulatory authorities have already demonstrated, nurses and midwives will be supported to do this. However there is a risk that individuals commencing a portfolio for the first time will attempt to deal with the requirement by focussing on the minimum standards set by the regulatory authorities. Critics of the use of professional portfolios are quite correct, compiling and managing a portfolio can be a time consuming and irrelevant process if not well implemented. As this article will elaborate, e-Portfolios have a range of potential professional benefits including supporting individuals through a critical reflective approach to competency development, supporting professional collaboration and providing a structure for planning their career progression. This article provides an overview of the potential benefits of e-Portfolio platforms including detailing the capacities for information storage and recall and the provision of tools to support structuring and reporting information to further develop and communicate professional achievements. The objective is to entice the ambitious professional and their employers/professional associations to consider utilizing the extended capacities of e-Portfolios.
澳大利亚护士和助产士认证委员会（ANMC）持续能力框架的引入意味着，越来越多的澳大利亚注册护士和注册助产士在接受审核时需要提交一份档案袋以维持其注册资格。正如一些专业组织和州监管机构已经表明的那样，护士和助产士将得到支持来完成此事。然而，首次开始准备档案袋的个人可能会只关注监管机构设定的最低标准，以此来应对这一要求，这存在一定风险。对使用专业档案袋持批评态度的人是正确的，如果实施不当，编制和管理档案袋可能是一个耗时且无关紧要的过程。正如本文将详细阐述的那样，电子档案袋具有一系列潜在的专业优势，包括通过批判性反思方法支持个人进行能力发展、支持专业协作以及为规划职业发展提供架构。本文概述了电子档案袋平台的潜在优势，包括详细说明信息存储和检索能力，以及提供支持构建和报告信息的工具，以进一步发展和展示专业成就。目的是吸引有抱负的专业人士及其雇主/专业协会考虑利用电子档案袋的扩展功能。
