Former news magazine
The Australian College of Mental Health Nurses produced a news magazine from 2010-2019, which contained many stories and pieces of news for mental health nurses. Due to various circumstances, the news magazine had to be put on hold in 2020, but we invite you to read through the previous editions collected here.
