Policy and Advocacy
ACN Professional Advisory Team leading the voice of nursing
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.
- Have your say: Proposed changes to medication labelling
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is seeking feedback on proposed updates to medicine labelling requirements in Australia. These changes aim to:
– Update mandatory substance and warning declarations
– Improve clarity and accessibility of information on labels
– Modernise labelling standards to meet current needs
Share your views and help shape the future of medicine labelling by completing our survey. This consultation will be open until mid Feb 2026.
