Credentialing

The ACMHN Credential is the nationally consistent standard for recognition of specialist mental health nurses. Credentialing ensures recognition of the qualifications, skills, expertise, and experience of nurses who are practicing as specialist mental health nurses. 

If you choose to get credentialed, future employers will know that you complete your work to the highest standard, giving you a competitive advantage in application processes.

 

 





Apply for credentialing

All applications for credentialing are submitted online through the Credentialing for Nurses portal. Applications are processed by the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses and peer reviewed by a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse.
