A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a Registered Nurse with the experience and expertise 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 clinical nurses in our health care system.  The title “Nurse Practitioner” can only be used by a person who has been endorsed by AHPRA through the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia.
