Important Information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic - Update 3 January 2022
This year has once again demanded our enduring resilience and I acknowledge the significant burden COVID-19 continues to have on nurses, medical staff, front line workers and indeed the whole community. The pressure that has been felt by all both in our personal and professional roles has been immense. We should all be extremely proud of the enormous courage, strength, and commitment to providing quality health care to the Australian community whilst living with the complexities of COVID-19.
We are all looking forward to 2022 and the hope that we can resume some degree of “normalcy” in our lives and ACEN is also looking forward to being able to deliver the educational programs that help us to enhance our knowledge and skills in delivery of quality care to our patients.
Course dates have been added to the website, and these will continue to be added to as the Health Advice and State Border Restrictions become more settled
I wish you and your loved ones all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy holiday period and for 2022.
Thank you again for all the work you do to keep our communities safe and well.
Regards
Liz Cloughessy

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.
