About the course
This online Graduate Certificate is designed for experienced registered nurses seeking to extend their scope of practice into prescribing. You’ll develop advanced capability in health assessment, diagnostic testing, pathophysiology, and pharmacology/therapeutics to support safe, evidence-based prescribing in partnership with an authorised independent prescriber. It is especially relevant to rural, regional and community care settings. This Graduate Certificate focuses on advanced nursing prescribing practice.
Career outcome
Graduates may be positioned to apply for endorsement with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia as a Registered Nurse Prescriber and then undertake the required mentored practice period. The skills support expanded roles in settings where access to prescribers is limited, including community clinics, aged care, regional and rural services, and broader healthcare contexts requiring timely medication management. This Graduate Certificate supports advanced career pathways in nursing prescribing.
