Flinders University Courses

In accordance with the Australian Nursing Midwifery Council Standards and Criteria for the accreditation of Nursing and Midwifery Courses, applicants must:

• hold a Bachelor of Nursing or equivalent; and
• hold a postgraduate qualification in a specialist nursing field relevant to their advanced nursing practice; and
• have current registration as a nurse in Australia; and
• have a minimum of two years full-time equivalent (FTE) experience as a registered nurse in Australia in a specialist nursing field; and
• have a minimum two years FTE experience in Australia at an advanced practice level, as defined by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, in their relevant specialist nursing field within the last six years; and
• provide a completed and signed Supernumerary Integrated Professional Practice (SIPP) form (DOCX) as evidence of approval from an employing organisation to complete 300 hours of supernumerary professional practice and supervisor availability and suitability.   

*Advanced nursing practice (ANP): ANP is a continuum along which nurses develop their professional knowledge, clinical reasoning and judgement, skills and behaviours to higher levels of capability (that is recognisable). Nurses practising at an advanced level incorporate professional leadership, education and research into their clinically based practice. Their practice is effective and safe. They work within a generalist or specialist context and they are responsible and accountable in managing people who have complex health care requirements.

Advanced nursing practice is a level of practice and not a role. It is acknowledged that advanced nursing practice is specific to the individual within their context of practice.
