  • Prescribe medications and order diagnostic interventions as required.
  • Provide education and support to clients and their families to promote self-management and disease prevention.

Requirements

  • Completed approved master's degree in Nurse Practitioner or equivalent clinical master's degree, as deemed appropriate by the Nursing & Midwifery Board of Australia via AHPRA, including therapeutic medication management module.
