The Australian College of Critical Care Nurses represents over 2,500 critical care nurses nationally. Our members work across the critical care clinical spectrum - emergency, coronary care, high dependency, cardiothoracic and general intensive care units, and academic and educational settings. Our College activities focus on the care of both adult and paediatric critically ill patients, and includes many clinical sub-specialities (Special Interest Groups) and professional issues (Advisory Panels).
The College has strong professional relationships with other national peak nursing bodies and government agencies and individuals. Our relationships extend to the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society, health care companies (our corporate members), as well as international critical care nursing organisations. ACCCN is a foundation member of the World Federation of Critical Care Nurses and a member association to the World Federation of Societies of Intensive Care and Critical Care Medicine and maintains a representative on Council of both these international bodies. See our Links - International for these, and other professional associations and their activities.
