Nurse practitioners are clinical leaders responsible for direct clinical care, promoting evidence-based clinical practice, contributing to that evidence-base and leading service improvement. The Master of Advanced Nursing Practice (Nurse Practitioner) is an accredited course of study leading to endorsement as a nurse practitioner by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). It has been designed to support students to meet the Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice and is offered over two years part time. Upon completion of the program, students will be eligible for entry on the Australian Health Practitioner Register as an endorsed Nurse Practitioner. The course is coordinated by experienced nurse practitioners and aims to support students to meet the NMBA Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice with a focus on developing the clinical leadership and decision-making skill needed to practice as a nurse practitioner. The MANP(NP) uses a blended teaching model which means that some of the content is delivered on campus and some online. On campus classes provide an opportunity for experienced nurses to learn from and engage with a range of professional and clinical leaders who participate in the program, as well as share their experiences and knowledge with each other.
