International Nurses Day 2023
Celebrated on Thursday 12 May 2023 around the globe, International Nurses Day (IND) is an opportunity to thank nurses, show how nursing can look in the future, and how the profession will transform the next stage of healthcare.
In 2023, the ACNP have set our sights on the future for Nurse Practitioners and nursing.
The ACNP would like to thank all our members and the nursing profession for their incredible efforts over the last two years. The nursing profession has once again showed their incredible resilience, dedication, and passion in caring for others and putting their needs before their own.
This year, we encourage you to celebrate IND 2023 and gather friends, family, and colleagues to share in your amazing contribution to nursing in your community, and of course honour your proud nursing background.

A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a Registered Nurse with the experience, expertise and authority to diagnose and treat people of all ages with a variety of acute or chronic health conditions. NPs have completed additional university study at Master’s degree level and are the most senior and independent clinical nurses in our health care system.
The title "Nurse Practitioner" can only be used by a person who has been endorsed by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
National standards for practice ensure that Nurse Practitioners are capable of providing high quality, patient centred care. They are also capable in clinical research, education and leadership as applied to clinical care and health service development.
