The first wave of new benefits for Australian College of Nursing (ACN) members has arrived!
ACN values its Members and Fellows. Not only do they inform our response to policy and contribute knowledge and experience to help us shape health care debate, they are the lifeblood of our preeminent nursing organisation.
As of 1 June 2016, there are three new initiatives that will streamline the member experience and provide significant value that is greater than the annual cost of our membership fees:
My ACN
My ACN is a new online portal where members can access all of their details, benefits and services. Members can update their profile and preferences, and specify the publications they wish to receive.
My ACN is a practical information hub that will ultimately put everything members need in one place, with the convenience of a single login. We're delighted to start to deliver these changes and will continue to improve the services available in the My ACN hub.
If you are a current member and have forgotten your username or password, simply enter the email address that you currently receive your ACN correspondence to, to reset your login.
If you have any questions or issues with this process please contact ACN Membership on 1800 061 660 or membership@acn.edu.au.
1, 2, 3 CPD Courses for Free
Members can now access three free CPD courses each registration year (1 June to 31 May). The courses that will be available are:
• Abdominal Assessment

4. Click Claim
You will be taken directly to CNnect where you can start your free CPD course straight away.
If you have any questions or issues with this process please contact ACN Membership on 1800 061 660 or membership@acn.edu.au.
Discounts off all ACN courses
Members and Fellows, you now receive a 10% discount off full fees for all ACN Courses.
As an example: if you enrol in a graduate certificate course, your discount represents a saving of between $790 and $1120. If you don’t have the time or resources to study a graduate certificate course, you can enrol in a postgraduate unit of study, which will provide you with a Statement of Attainment. The discount will save you up to $327 on the cost of a single unit of study, depending on the subject fee.
For a full list of courses offered by ACN please visit our education page or contact our Customer Services team on 1800 265 534 or customerservices@acn.edu.au.
How to claim your discount:
When you fill out the application form for your unit or course, please quote your member number as your special offer discount code.
1. The discount is valid for all full-price ACN courses, excluding CPD workshops and short courses, which are already priced at a reduced member rate.
2. It is not valid with any other discount offer.
3. You need to quote your member number on course enrolment documentation in order to claim the discount.
4. Offer subject to change without notice.
If you are not already a member of ACN, you can sign up now to take advantage of these benefits and services.
