Membership Types and Fees
ACCCN is Australia’s peak body for critical care nurses – a not-for-profit, member-led organisation supporting the people doing some of the most demanding work in health care.
Whether you are a student finding your feet, a first-year registered nurse beginning your career, or an experienced healthcare professional ready to contribute to the future of critical care, there is a membership option designed for you.
Two ways to belong
Voting Membership
Full ACCCN benefits, plus the opportunity to have a say in the College’s direction. Voting members can vote, hold elected office, sit on the Board of Directors, serve on committees and attend ACCCN member and social events.
Non-Voting Membership
Full ACCCN benefits and access to ACCCN member and social events, without formal governance responsibilities such as voting, elected office, Board or committee roles.
Find your fit
*Members purchasing 1 Year Membership (paid monthly) are committing to a full 12 months membership. The balance of any outstanding monthly instalments must be paid to the ACCCN should a member resign prior to the completion of their annual commitment.
Which membership is right for you?
1. Member of ACCCN (MACCCN)
For any registered Health Professional practising under the laws of an Australian state or territory (or the equivalent overseas). This is ACCCN’s core membership option, offering full member benefits and voting rights.
2. Postgraduate Nursing Student Membership
For registered Health Professionals currently undertaking postgraduate study relevant to critical care nursing. Studying while you work? This one’s for you.
Requires evidence of current-year enrolment.
3.First Year Registered Nurse Membership
For newly registered Division 1 nurses in their first year of practice. Starting out in critical care is a big step. This membership connects you with support and community from day one.
4.Undergraduate Student Membership
For students enrolled in a recognised undergraduate program leading to registration as a Health Professional. Get connected to the critical care community before you’ve even graduated.
Requires evidence of current-year enrolment.
5.Affiliate Membership
For Division 1 registered nurses who hold current, financial membership with another recognised nursing organisation (such as CENA, ACORN, or ACN).
AHPRA registration alone isn’t enough – you’ll need to upload proof of your nursing organisation membership, and remain a financial member there too.
International colleagues: you’re welcome here too. You’ll need evidence of nursing registration equivalent to an Australian Division 1 RN, plus current financial membership with an ACCCN-equivalent professional body in your country of residence.
