Important Information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic - Update 17 August 2020
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in Australia, New Zealand and globally, ACEN is closely monitoring and considering the potential impact on our instructors and stakeholders and our scheduled activities and events.
The safety and wellbeing of our staff, colleagues and the community is paramount, and this will shape any changes to our planning for courses.
We also appreciate the additional strain being felt by the healthcare sector as information about the COVID-19 outbreak is emerging constantly.
We understand this is an incredibly challenging time for everyone, and the impacts of this outbreak on our sector and our communities will continue to be felt for months to come. ACEN is closely monitoring the situation, and we will provide updates with new information affecting our activities as soon as it becomes available.
In line with the latest State and Territory Government restrictions the ACEN Board of Directors has made the decision that all educational programs scheduled will be postponed and potential courses and dates will be removed from the website. All current applications will be held over until we are able to provide the education for you in your preferred location.
To assist you in being able to undertake future educational programs we have introduced an Expression of Interest Section (EOI) – which can be found below – on the website for all of our programs for your consideration.
ACEN will continue to monitor the effect of COVID-19 and the recommendations of the governing bodies and will decide each month regarding the potential for future programs to be scheduled. For the foreseeable future, we will offer positions in these courses to those who have pending applications or have registered an EOI.
Thank you for the incredible job that you are doing at this difficult time and please remember that the strength of Emergency Nursing is the unity that we have as colleagues and friends. Please do not hesitate to contact ACEN at any time if we can be of any assistance or support to you.
Regards
Liz Cloughessy
