A Local Point of Contact ACMHN branches serve as a forum where members can connect, take part in events, and collaborate on local initiatives. The branch framework ensures that mental health nurses feel supported, informed, and included. Elevation of Local Professional Recognition As a peak body and credentialing authority, ACMHN uses its branches to raise awareness and recognition of mental health nursing as a specialty. Local branches bring the voice of the profession into communities, highlighting our identity as mental health nurses, our expertise, leadership, and contributions in mental health care. Advocacy Across All Levels of Health and Government Representation matters, not just nationally, but locally too. ACMHN branches engage with state and territory health sectors and governments including the Ministry of Health, influencing policy, shaping standards, and ensuring mental health nurses play an active role in decision making everywhere. Getting Involved Meetings are scheduled monthly.
