Committees

The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses committees advise the Board on issues regarding education, accreditation, credentialing, and more.

Education & Accreditation Committee 

The Education and Accreditation Committee was established by the ACMHN Board of Directors in 2019. The Education and Accreditation Committee considers issues in relation to nursing, enrolled nursing and mental health nursing education, and work with the Credentialing Committee where appropriate.

ACMHN Education and Accreditation Committee Vision statement 2024-2026

In envisioning a future of unparalleled excellence in mental health nursing, we commit to setting and promoting standards that illuminate the path towards recognition, respect, and dignity for mental health nurses and the individuals they serve. 
The Committee's vision is to establish a gold standard in mental health nursing education and accreditation, fostering an environment where expertise and compassion converge seamlessly.

We aspire to elevate mental health nursing to the status of a distinguished specialty, characterised by unwavering commitment to excellence, evidence-based practice, and holistic care. 

By solidifying rigorous standards, in education and accreditation, we aim to create a landscape where mental health nurses are revered as indispensable contributors to the healthcare continuum.
