CC Medical is Heading to ACMHN 2026 in Adelaide

September 16, 2026

We’re excited to announce that CC Medical will be exhibiting at the 50th International Mental Health Nursing Conference (ACMHN 2026) in Adelaide this October.



Taking place 7–9 October 2026 at the Adelaide Convention Centre, this year’s conference marks an important milestone: 50 years of mental health nursing, under the theme “Celebrating 50 years of mental health nursing:The future is now.”

And if you’re attending, you’ll have no trouble finding us.


CC Medical is proud to be the Coffee Cart Sponsor, so come and grab a coffee, meet our team and have a chat about where your mental health nursing career could take you next.

Celebrating the people behind mental health care



Mental health nurses play an essential role in Australia’s healthcare system, supporting individuals, families and communities across metropolitan, regional, rural and remote Australia.


Events such as ACMHN 2026 provide an important opportunity to bring the profession together—not only to discuss the challenges facing mental health care, but to share knowledge, strengthen professional connections and look at how the sector can continue to evolve.


The conference is expected to bring together hundreds of delegates from Australia and overseas, with a program featuring mental health nursing leaders, clinicians, researchers, educators, private practitioners and lived-experience perspectives.


Topics will range from specialisation in mental health nursing and digital mental health to artificial intelligence, First Nations mental health nursing, alcohol and other drugs, and mental health nursing across the lifespan.


Why these conversations matter



At CC Medical, we see first-hand the important contribution mental health nurses make to healthcare services and communities across Australia.


We also understand that building a strong mental health workforce isn't simply about filling vacancies. It's about connecting skilled professionals with the services and communities that need them, supporting nurses throughout their careers and creating opportunities for people to experience different workplaces, locations and models of care.


That's why events like ACMHN are so valuable.


They create a space for nurses, healthcare organisations, educators, researchers and industry partners to connect, exchange ideas and strengthen the profession. In fact, one of the stated aims of ACMHN 2026 is to create an environment for sharing knowledge, building relationships and promoting collaborative practice across mental health nursing and the wider mental health sector.

Come and have a coffee with CC Medical



If you're attending ACMHN 2026, come and say hello to the CC Medical team at our exhibition booth and Coffee Cart.


Whether you're already working in mental health nursing, considering your next contract, looking for opportunities somewhere new or simply want to understand what's happening in the market, we'd love to chat.


Talk to us about:


  • Current Mental Health Nursing opportunities across Australia
  • Agency and contract nursing
  • Regional, rural and remote opportunities
  • Planning your next contract or career move
  • What we're seeing in the mental health nursing employment market
  • What's the location actually like to live in?
  • How CC Medical can support you throughout the recruitment and placement process

And, of course, you can grab a coffee while you're there.

The Coffee Cart will be operating throughout the conference and is designed as a meeting and networking point for delegates—so it feels like the perfect place for us to connect with the mental health nursing community.

See you in Adelaide
