Policy and Advocacy

ACN Professional Advisory Team leading the voice of nursing

You are here:

We are committed to ensuring that the expertise and experiences of nurses are represented in policy development throughout the Australian health and aged care system.

Fellows and Members of ACN are regularly invited to participate in consultations on a broad range of clinical, professional and health policy issues. Opportunities to contribute to ACN submissions are advertised through direct communication with members.

Help shape the future of healthcare

Your expertise matters. ACN members are encouraged to actively contribute to our open consultations and share their perspectives. Your input helps shape influential submissions and white papers that advance the nursing profession and healthcare policy. To participate or provide feedback, contact the Professional Advisory Team at advisory@acn.edu.au.
