What is a Nurse Practitioner? Nurse Practitioners are registered nurses with a master’s-level qualification and endorsement to work in an advanced clinical role. They can assess, diagnose, prescribe and refer, and Medicare rebates apply to their consultations. See our fees for current Nurse Practitioner fees.
