ACNN Information

ACNN is a member-based organisation, that is governed by a Public Officer and a National Executive. ACNN has a number of state-based Branches and nationally focused Special Interest Groups. Our Philosophy We believe neonatal nurses have a responsibility to carry out a high standard of individualised care for preterm, sick and recovering newborn infants within a family centred philosophy. We believe neonatal nursing should have a national focus with standards for clinical practice, research and education. We believe there should be active collaboration and representation between ACNN members, other professional associations, particularly those involved with perinatal care, and clinical and academic institutions. ACNN provides direction and leadership for neonatal nurses thereby enhancing their professional development within the specialty.
