About ACN's Policy Summit

Every year, the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) hosts the Policy Summit in Canberra — a cornerstone event in shaping the national nursing agenda. The Summit brings together ACN Policy Fellows, distinguished guests, and other leaders from across the health sector to engage in high-level dialogue on the most pressing issues impacting nursing and health care in Australia.

Through a series of strategic discussions, policy workshops, and evidence-based leadership sessions, participants collaborate to refine ACN’s policy priorities, develop evidence-informed recommendations, and influence national health policy.

The Policy Summit provides an invaluable platform for nurses to have their voices heard at the highest levels of decision-making and to contribute to advancing a stronger, more sustainable health system for all Australians.
