The National Nursing Forum (NNF) is the Australian College of Nursing’s signature annual leadership and educational event bringing together nurses, students and other health professionals from around the country and across the globe. The 2024 NNF will take place from Wednesday 14 – Friday 16 August 2024 at the Cairns Convention Centre.

Attendees will enjoy a full and rich forum experience with face-to-face presentations and interactions with the nursing network, the opportunity to connect with valuable sponsors and exhibitors to learn about the latest products, and more.

The 2024 NNF theme will be ‘Regenerate, Reinvigorate, Reclaim – Sustainable solutions for our future’ and will be explored in our keynote plenary sessions and throughout the forum.

It is a hybrid event, so you can attend in person or online. To register please go to the ACN website. Western Health will have a healthy contingent attending!
