Founding Members of GANA

We would like to thank and acknowledge the founding members for their work to achieve our shared mission: to enable access to gerontological nursing knowledge and skills and a community of specialist nurses to support the delivery of high quality, evidence based and holistic care in Australia to older population groups and their families/carers across care settings. The strength of the organization is in its members, and the power of community is key to creating support and change.
