Welcome to the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) web site.

The aim of ACNP is to represent the interest of all Nurse Practitioners (NPs) as we interface with the health care system. This college continues to be a proactive voice in helping to shape healthcare delivery in Australia as we equip NP's to develop their career paths in various health settings.

As a national organisation we continue to play a part in the Coalition of National Nursing Organisations (CoNNO). The CoNNO is a forum where debate can occur out of the public domain and work towards a consolidated national voice.

We invite all nursing colleagues to play an active role in the development of the college as we serve the membership and the community.

It is an exciting time for NPs and nursing, we are acknowledged as central to healthcare and the delivery of services to people and communities. The college will continue to grow and flourish with the support of it’s membership.
