This framework document consolidates all relevant information, outlines guidelines and offers practical information about nurse practitioners in the ACT for the community; those health services that may be prospective employers of nurse practitioners and those registered nurses who wish to become nurse practitioners, or nurse practitioners working in another jurisdiction who are considering working in the ACT.
It applies to nurse practitioners working in the public health sector, private sector or in individual practice.
