Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Sig
The focus of the Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) SIG is to provide a collaborative network for current and future neonatal nurse practitioners within the Australian context. Priorities for the SIG are to support advanced neonatal clinical education, provide guidance for neonatal nursing clinicians interested in pursuing the NNP career pathway, and link NNPs and candidates together in a mentorship framework. In addition, the SIG aims to become a preferred source for expert commentary regarding the role for regulatory, professional and educational bodies within Australia.

NNPs have advanced neonatal nursing skills. They fulfil the requirements of an approved Nurse Practitioner Master’s program and are endorsed as such by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The role includes assessment and management of neonates using advanced knowledge and requisite skills appropriate for the setting in which the NNP works. The NNP utilises this expertise to ensure accurate and high-quality clinical care delivery for the neonate and his/her family.
