I couldn’t verify a single definitive count of how many South Australian nurses have been dismissed for misconduct from the information available here. The results I found point to individual tribunal cases and related SA Health misconduct actions, but not one clear statewide total for nurses alone.

What the public record shows

  • A South Australian nurse had her registration cancelled for professional misconduct in a tribunal case.
  • Another SA nurse was disqualified from re-registration for 12 months after findings of inappropriate relationships and confidentiality breaches.
  • A separate SA case involved a nurse banned for ten years over a sexual relationship with a patient.
  • SA Health also reported 18 staff being resigned or sanctioned in one investigation, but that figure covered staff more broadly, not nurses only.

Best reading of the question

If you mean “how many in total,” the public snippets I found do not provide an exact current number for all South Australian nurses dismissed for misconduct. If you mean “how many recent publicly reported cases,” at least a handful of South Australian nurse misconduct cases have been reported over recent years, but they are not consolidated into one official total in the material available here.

Source note

The available reporting is case-based rather than a complete register-wide count, so any exact number would need a targeted official dataset or registry search.
