The Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse Network aims to link peers for an exchange of information and ideas. Given the nature of this mental health sub-speciality, Nurses working in this field are usually pretty independent practitioners and often don't have regular contact with peers who share CL Nurse experiences and interests.

The email network originally spluttered to life in February 2002 and has gained momentum over subsequent years. The email network's formation and development coincided with the formation and development of the Australian College of Mental Health Nurses (ACMHN) Consultation Liaison Special Interest Group (CLSIG). The email network is also promoted by the NSW/ACT Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurses Association. The email network is maintained by the CLSIG, but the ACMHN and the CLSIG do not take responsibility for nor endorse opinions expressed through this network.

The email network is not moderated (ie: uncensored), but nuisance posts (abusive, racist, sexist, advertising etc) will not be tolerated. We take pride that the tone of the email network has always been casual, generous and supportiveWe take pride that the tone of the email network has been always casual, generous supportive, and that it has attracted over 320 subscribers from at least nine countries.

No matter where you live and work, if you're a Mental Health/Psychiatric Consultation Liaison Nurse you are very welcome to join our email network.
