The Minister for Health has announced a consultation on the proposed general authorisation allowing Victorian Nurse Practitioners to supply and prescribe medicines to their full scope of practice. At this stage the College will not be making a formal response, but members are welcome to make an individual submission.

The consultation paper and submission framework can be accessed via the online Engage platform. If you have any serious concerns about the contents of the consultation paper and the associated proposals, please contact Jenny Johnson (j.johnson@acrrm.org.au). The consultation period is open until Monday 16 December 2019.
