ACN Foundation is…

The Australian College of Nursing (ACN), like other Australian health and medical colleges, is dedicated to servicing and enhancing the professional practice of its members. It achieves this by providing education courses, advocating on behalf of Australian nurses, conducting research that influences health care policy and supporting the nurse leaders of tomorrow.

The ACN Foundation supports the work of ACN by allowing interested individuals, organisations and businesses to make donations that provide opportunities to further the professional practice of nurses and honour the nursing profession. To contribute to this important cause please consider making a donation. 

Our campaigns

Scholarships and Grants

The ACN Foundation administers and seeks new opportunities to administer scholarships and grants to support Australian nurses. This continues the rich tradition of investing in the nursing profession that was central to the ethos of ACN’s predecessors The College of Nursing and the Royal College of Nursing, Australia.

Create a legacy

You can create a lasting impact on the nursing profession by donating a substantial gift during your lifetime or leaving a gift in your will. Establishing a legacy is hugely gratifying feeling knowing you are making a difference to thousands of nurses across Australia.

Payroll giving

Did you know that you can get your tax deduction at the time that you make a regular fortnightly donation? A regular donation the amount of a cup of coffee can go a long way to assisting our nurses enhance their professional development and leadership skills.
