Did you know nurses have been consecutively labeled the most trusted profession for 22 years?
This is due to their ability to access and provide clinical judgement to advocate and initiate best quality care for their patients.
At the frontline of care delivery, nurses are the heart of our health care system and our primary caregivers who guide us through some of the most challenging moments of our lives.
At ACN, we are passionate about advancing the leadership qualities of nurses through empowering them to deliver high quality care and drive transformational change across the Australian health care system.
Bringing together nurses from across the country, the National Nursing Forum is our annual signature event that informs and inspires delegates through an exceptional lineup of local and international speakers, networking opportunities and entertainment.
Join us in supporting the Australian nursing community by sponsoring the National Nursing Forum!
We have a diverse selection of sponsorship packages available for organisations interested in supporting the invaluable contribution nurses make to our community.
In addition, you will have the unique opportunity to form valuable relationships, build strong partnerships and raise your profile within the Australian health care community.
3 THE NATIONAL NURSING FORUM 2020
Bringing together nurses from across the country, the National Nursing Forum is our annual signature event that informs and inspires delegates through an exceptional line up of prominent speakers, networking opportunities and entertainment.
A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
In 2019 ACN welcomed almost 600 attendees to our annual National Nursing Forum (NNF) at the Grand Chancellor Hotel, Hobart. The Forum was a tremendous success with a record-number of delegates from across the country and profession.
The program informed and inspired delegates through an impressive line-up of keynote presenters, concurrent sessions and masterclasses delivered by leaders in nursing, health and government. Through our theme, Nursing Now – Power of Policy, a variety of thought-provoking and inspiring presentations left delegates armed with ideas and information to take back to their professional and personal lives.
From our Speed Leading and Networking Session to our Gala Dinner, there were numerous networking opportunities available throughout the event. Nurses had the chance to form meaningful connections and valuable relationships with colleagues working across all settings and levels of the health care system. The energy, excitement and passion for our profession and organisation was palpable at the National Nursing Forum in 2019.

Did you know that Low Battery Anxiety is actually a thing? According to recent studies, indeed it is! We know that 99% of NNF Forum delegates downloaded and actively used the app throughout the Forum. Exhibitors are busy making new connections and scanning QR codes. Everyone is networking, messaging and trying to keep up with what’s happening back in the office or at home. That means there are a lot of people constantly using their phones and therefore a lot of potential for phone batteries to require a recharge throughout the day.

A great opportunity to raise your company profile by offering a much-needed service at the Forum.

ACN’S PRINCIPLES OF WORKING WITH INDUSTRY GUIDELINESThe Australian College of Nursing (ACN) has developed clear principles that must be followed in entering into any relationship with industry,
including pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers and suppliers of medical devices, health-related products, information technology and
other industry suppliers.
Position statement: ACN has a responsibility to ensure that its interactions with industry are in keeping with ACN’s professional standards
and responsibilities to its members, the nursing profession and society as a whole. As such, relationships with industry are appropriate only if
they do not conflict with ACN’s core values and do not compromise ACN’s integrity and objectivity.
General principles - The principles which must apply in all instances are:
• conformity with ACN’s intent, core values and strategic directions
• professionalism and ethics, as outlined in the Code of Conduct for Nurses in Australia (2008), the Medicines Australia Code of Conduct 17
and the Medical Technology Association Code of Practice
• no relationship should undermine ACN’s independence
• consistency with ACN policies and practice principles and guidelines
• transparency of process, except for commercial in confidence activities
• regulatory compliance and accountability.
