Webinars: Updates to guidance for registered nurse prescribing in primary health and specialty teams
The Council is hosting webinars to discuss recent amendments to the Guidance for registered nurse prescribing in primary health and specialty teams. The webinars will be held on 29 April and 6 May 2026.
In December the Director-General of Health published an updated Gazette notice listing the prescription medicines that registered nurses prescribing in primary health and specialty teams are authorised to prescribe. The updated medicines list has been expanded by 202 additional medicines. See updated medicines list
On 26 March 2026 the Misuse of Drugs (Controlled Drugs—Designated Prescriber Nurses and Designated Prescriber Pharmacists) Amendment Regulations 2026 came into force. The amendments to Schedule 1A are found here.
The Nursing Council has also updated its Guidance for registered nurse prescribing in primary health and specialty teams in accordance with these changes.
