Awards, Scholarships & Recognition Program

This is an important initiative of the Australian College of Nurse Practitioners as we recognise the outstanding service of Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Practice Nurses.

All Awards and Scholarships recognise the invaluable work Nurse Practitioners and Advanced Practice Nurses contribute to the Australian community, ensuring effective, innovative and efficient care of an individual’s health issues in a complex and constantly changing environment.

As a college, we strongly encourage applications from across the country, in relation to all types of roles and specialities. Please check the guidelines and consider who you may wish to nominate, or whether you could nominate yourself!

All applicants need to complete the online application form via each award or scholarship's dedicated web page.

For any inquiries, please contact us via admin@acnp.org.au or 1300 433 660.
