We are so proud to congratulate Kylie Straube, Credentialed Mental Health Nurse and NT Branch Secretary, on winning the Health Heroes Award at the 2026 NT News Women of the Year Awards.

When the Darwin Rural clinic closed in 2023, Kylie sold everything she had and started Australia's first stand-alone Nurse-Led clinic. She serves around 7,500 residents across five rural communities, mentors junior clinicians, and advocates tirelessly for rural health equity.

Kylie is also a mum of two, one of whom is now a Registered Nurse with her sights set on becoming a Credentialed Mental Health Nurse herself.

Congratulations, Kylie. This one is well deserved.

The 2026–27 Federal Budget invested in health. But mental health nurses are still being left out of the conversation.

We've welcomed the commitments to urgent care, aged care, disability reform and First Nations health. But mental health nursing remains invisible across workforce strategy, Medicare reform, and national leadership.

As our President Professor Rhonda Wilson said: "Mental health reform cannot succeed while mental health nursing remains invisible within the systems it helps sustain every day."

Mental health nursing is specialist work. ACMHN is advocating for it to be recognised that way at the regulatory level, through AHPRA endorsement as a postgraduate specialty.

It's one of the most significant commitments in the 2026–2030 Strategic Plan. Read more at the link below.
