Welcome to the application portal for the 2025 Student Subsidy Initiative.

ACNP are very pleased to announce that for first-time ever, Nurse Practitioner student attendees of the 2025 National Conference in Canberra will be eligible for a subsidised registration thanks to the generosity of some of ACNP's supporters.

In 2024, we had many first-time student attendees at the conference and their attendance greatly enriched the overall experience. The interest in students exploring the NP role is growing throughout Australia and more students are choosing to attend the ACNP National Conference to gain some of their additional experiences.

Thanks to the generosity of ACNP supporters, we are delighted to offer the 2025 Student Tickets for only $350.00.

Who is eligible?

You are eligible if you are both 
•    a current ACNP Associate Member at the time of applying and at the time of attending the ACNP National Conference and
•    a currently enrolled NP Student or RN, and will be enrolled in the NP Masters at the time of attending the ACNP National Conference.

If you are not yet a member of the ACNP, you can join or renew your membership here: www.acnp.org.au/join-and-renew 

Please note:

The allocation of available registrations is based on the amount of registrations subsidised by our supporters and is strictly limited. The below information is required to be submitted for assessment of suitability. This offer is only open to individuals and each applicant must apply separately.

IMPORTANT: Successful recipients of this subsidy will be ineligible to apply for other ACNP Scholarships on offer, and successful ACNP Scholarship recipients will be ineligible to apply for this subsidy. All ACNP scholarships and subsidies are only available for an individual once. If you successfully apply for any of the student scholarships or subsidies on offer in 2025, you will not be ineligible to apply for any other student offerings in the future. 

Other ACNP Scholarships available to attend the National Conference in 2025 are:

• QUT Indigenous / Rural & Remote Student Scholarship
• Heather May Herrick Scholarship

We encourage you to review and choose your options carefully, before applying for the one most suitable to your circumstance. You can read more about the ACNP Awards & Scholarships Recognition Program here: https://www.acnp.org.au/awards---scholarships 

Successful applicants of this student subsidy will receive a confirmation email. Please note that the strict criteria must be met in order for this ticket price to apply. Should your application not be successful, one of the ACNP team will contact you to upgrade your registration to a standard option.

Charity Partner.

Each year, ACNP endeavor to support a local charity organisation through the ACNP National Conference.

By making a donation, you will be helping ACNP achieve the gift of giving back to those in need. This year, the committee have chosen to support 'Hands Across Canberra'.

"Hands Across Canberra supports over 350 charities within the Canberra community. Together, we’re working to solve local problems for local people and build a better Canberra for us all. Sadly, not all charities enjoy the same level of community support and awareness. Smaller organisations can struggle for the support and resources they need to carry out their important work. Hands Across Canberra helps by making sure everyone has access to funds, capacity building and support as they work on the front lines to make our community a better place." https://handsacrosscanberra.org.au/ 

Thank you for your generous donation.

ACNP pledge to donate a matched minimum of $5.00 per registered delegate.
