Advanced Nursing

What is advanced nursing practice?

Nurses practising at an advanced level may be working within a generalist or specialist context and incorporate professional leadership, education and research into their clinically based practice.

The  Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) recognises that advanced nursing practice is a level of practice and not a role and therefore is separate to Advanced Practice Nursing as it relates to the Nurse Practitioner role in the Australian context.

Why study advanced nursing?

Undertaking postgraduate study in advanced nursing is about taking that next step towards enhancing care provision, better patient outcomes and the leadership of specialist nursing roles you have always wanted to pursue. You will gain the skills to work as an advanced clinician, manager or educator and be ready to take on the challenges and complexities of leadership roles in nursing and nursing specialties.
