ACN Affiliation CREATING PARTNERSHIPS
ACN AFFILIATION The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) believes that each and every nurse in Australia should have the opportunity to grow their career and tap into their individual leadership potential. Leadership skills are vital to provide quality patient care and advocacy. Nurses with leadership skills are change makers. If your organisation wants to support the professional growth of your nursing staff and the nursing profession, then joining the ACN Affiliation Program is a must. Through this initiative, your organisation can join forces with ACN and other organisations that share a passion about nursing and the role that nurses fulfil. Together we can strengthen the profession s collective voice to influence health care policy and enhance the health of the community. As an ACN Affiliate, your organisation has access to benefits that will support your nursing staff in their professional practice and develop their leadership ability by connecting with inspiring nurse leaders.
Partnering with ACN can raise your organisation s profile. This is your chance to contribute to the professional future of your nurses and give them a voice a voice that needs to be heard. Adjunct Professor Kylie Ward FACN ACN Chief Executive Officer Advancing nurse leadership www.acn.edu.au
CREATING PARTNERSHIPS ACN s Affiliation Program is open to every organisation that employs nurses or has nurse members. When your organisation joins ACN as an Affiliate, it gives you access to ACN s facilities and networks to help you support and develop your staff s and members skills and potential. An Affiliation with ACN also creates strong and substantial partnerships between likeminded organisations so that, together, we can lead nursing and ensure nurse-led solutions shape future health care models.
