Journal

The MCAFHNA Board entered into an arrangement with the Australian College of Paediatric and Young People's Nursing in 2023 to jointly publish a journal to serve the members of both organisations.   The combined journal will be published under the name of Journal of Children and Young People's Health (JCYPH).

MCFHN are encouraged to send articles for publication to the Editor of the JCYPH, Elizabeth Forster at info@accypn.org.au.  Details for authors and submission of articles are available here

Prior to 2023 the Australian Journal of Child and Family Health Nursing (AJCFHN) was the official journal of MCaFHNA.

The AJCFHN was begun in 2003 to provide maternal child and family health nurses with access to recent clinical research and policy developments.  A primary aim of the journal was to encourage researchers and clinicians to publish content about their own clinical specialty area and was particularly sympathetic to new or inexperienced authors. Over the past twenty years the AJCFHN has published 40 issues and supported the aims of MCAFHNA and its previous entities and maternal child and family health nursing nationally.

More information on joining MCaFHNA can be found in the membership area of our website.
