Apply for re-credentialing
If your Australian College of Mental Health Nurses Credential has expired and you wish to renew it, you need to apply for re-credentialing. Your qualifications have already been provided when you first applied for credentialing.
Benefits
The Australian health care environment is changing, with reforms happening across the sector. Governments are looking for efficient and innovative ways to provide treatment and care, and credentialing is increasingly recognised as a means to identify qualified mental health nurses to provide such care.
If you choose to get credentialed, future employers will know that you complete your work to the highest standard, giving you a competitive advantage in application processes. Re-credentialing:
