The Australian College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) aims to provide its members with a wide range of information and services. We are working hard to expand these services over time and would appreciate any suggestions on the below email.

Our website remains the main communication and information source for members and has become the sole organisation representing and supporting Australian Nurse Practitioners.

It is also a gateway to more than 400 ACNP members representing Nurse Practitioners, Candidate Nurse Practitioners and nurses and allied health professionals that are interested in the Nurse Practitioner role. The ACNP has evolved over the years becoming the only national college for Nurse Practitioners with an annual conference, quarterly newsletter and educational days shared between state branches.

ACNP is a corporate member of:

  • The College of Nursing
  • National Prescribing Service
  • Coalition of National Nursing Organisations
  • Australian Health Care Reform Alliance
