Grants, awards and programs

The ACN Foundation administers a number of grants that have been provided to ACN by our generous benefactors, some of whom have nominated specific eligibility and selection criteria for their awards.

The Australian College of Nursing (ACN) is inviting applications from registered nurses to participate in the ACN Foundation Policy Fellows Program (the program). Launched in 2019 by the ACN Foundation, this is the first nursing specific health policy fellowship in Australia. The program has been designed to provide the next generation of nurse leaders with an understanding of the relationship between policy and improvements in health outcomes, with a particular focus on the nursing contribution.

The Fellowship requires a commitment of one year. During this time participants will be exposed to and engage with a range of thought leaders within and external to nursing. Supported by a mentor they will participate in an interactive structured program.
