Members

The strength of the College is underpinned by the diversity and expertise of its members. Bringing together nurses from diverse backgrounds, experience and knowledge levels, enables the College to keep abreast of trends in nursing practice and to make informed recommendations for future developments.

The College of Nursing consists of undergraduate, current and retired nurses and membership offers access to nursing experts with a vast range of experience.

This strength is further enhanced by key support professionals who bring expertise and knowledge from their respective fields.

The College provides members with a voice in the health system through member consultation, collaboration and lobbying. 

Its primary purpose is to help nurses develop both personally and professionally. Tailored educational courses, career support and advice are available to College members.

The camaraderie and unity of purpose in the nursing profession is embraced and extended through professional development programs.

I am pleased to advise that we have developed a process for nominations for Life Fellowship and Honorary Fellowship of The College of Nursing.

Life Fellowship honours College Fellows who have significantly contributed to the activities and achievements of the College over many years. Life Fellows can be nominated by Fellows of the College for consideration by the Board via the Censors Committee. Conferral of Life Fellowship is in recognition of a distinguished and outstanding relationship with the College.

Honorary Fellowship may be conferred on any person by special resolution of the Board and is the highest honour that can be bestowed by the Board on an individual. This is awarded to eminent people who are not nurses, but by virtue of their contributions to the College, to the profession or to health care consumers, deserve recognition by the College and the profession.

The nomination forms below have been developed to assist Fellows of the College who may wish to forward a nomination for consideration by the Board.  There are many eminent nurses and others who have made significant contributions to the College and we look forward to nominations.
