Take your nursing career to the next level as a nurse practitioner and see the difference you make – every day.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are expert, highly qualified nurses who work autonomously at an advanced practice level. NPs assess and diagnose patients, request and interpret tests, prescribe therapies and medications, and receive and make referrals to other health practitioners.
From neonates to aged care, critical care to health prevention, NPs deliver care across the life span in a broad range of health settings.
NPs are registered nurses who have undertaken postgraduate education (minimum of graduate certificate) in their specialty area in addition to specific NP master’s level education.
Training and education includes 5,000 hours of advanced practice prior to being endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
Advance your career with funded scholarships to build knowledge and expertise towards a career as a Nurse Practitioner.
NSW Health uses a transitional NP pathway (Transitional Nurse Practitioner) to employ nurses while they complete their education and training.
