The ACN National Nurses Breakfast is hosted each year in celebration of International Nurses Day on 12 May.

Traditionally the campaign saw nurses and their supporters hosting a breakfast or get-together at their workplace, university or community centre to celebrate International Nurses Day.

This year, taking into consideration restrictions that have arisen through the COVID-19 pandemic, we encouraged nurses to take time out for themselves during International Nurses Day week and treat themselves to a self-care breakfast.

Registrations for this year’s National Nurses Breakfast have closed. Don’t forget to check out our gallery of photos from nurses around the country celebrating International Nurses Day below.

Thank you to nurses all over Australia who joined in a virtual breakfast to celebrate all things wonderful about our profession. Throughout 2020 Year of the Nurse & Midwife let’s continue to highlight the crucial contribution our profession makes to our local communities!
