The EndorseMe journey

    Your pathway to Nurse Practitioner practice.

    Practical guidance, education and support — from your endorsement pathway to confident practice.

    EndorseMe exists to do six things — one for each stage of this journey.

    Journey map: six stages in a continuing cycle — guidance and support, endorsement-ready, public system-ready, private practice-ready, business-ready, then giving back and educating Australia.

    Select a stage to read what it means — and how EndorseMe helps.

    Built on the published rules

    EndorseMe runs on a regulatory corpus. A corpus is our owned library of the official documents themselves — the actual registration standards, guidelines, fact sheets and forms — stored word for word, versioned, and quoted directly. Nothing is answered from an AI's memory: every rule the app applies traces to a paragraph in a real document, or the app tells you it can't verify it.

    We call it the EndorseMe regulatory brain. At its centre sits the national NMBA and AHPRA endorsement rulebook — the registration standards, guidelines, fact sheets and forms that govern endorsement — hand-verified word by word, alongside the medicines and credentialing instruments of every Australian state and territory. The 4 NP Standards for Practice, their 12 practice statements, and the 5,000-hour rule with its 6-year window all come straight from the source documents.

    Around that verified core, the brain's wider intelligence layer puts thousands more Australian regulatory and legislative sources within reach — always anchored back to the verified library. Every week, the brain checks the official sources for new and changed information, so what the app tells you never quietly goes stale. Through all of it, one thing never moves: AHPRA and the NMBA always decide outcomes.

    Stage 1

    Guidance & support

    Every journey starts with orientation: knowing where you stand, what the published requirements actually say, and what to do next. EndorseMe meets you there — whether you are an Australian RN building your first portfolio, an overseas nurse practitioner proving substantial equivalence, or already endorsed and maintaining your practice.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • A distance-to-endorsement dashboard: a live readiness percentage, your gaps described in the guideline's own words, and the next action to take
    • Matron, the corpus-cited companion for your questions — read-only against your record: she can draft a CPD entry or remember what you ask her to, but nothing is saved unless you approve it
    • Guided onboarding matched to your pathway: candidate, overseas or endorsed
    • A team that includes senior Nurse Practitioner clinical admins, who shape the resources and support members receive

    Coming in Beta

    • Candidate training framework guidance
    • Mentor pathways

    Stage 2

    Endorsement-ready

    The core of EndorseMe. Endorsement rests on evidence — 5,000 hours of advanced practice, a portfolio mapped to the NMBA NP Standards, employer verification, and a CV that holds together under scrutiny. The app keeps all of it in one member-owned record and applies the published rules for you, so nothing is left to guesswork on the day you apply.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • A 5,000-hour ledger that applies the published rules automatically: the 6-year rolling window, program-placement hours excluded, recorded leave subtracted
    • A seven-category advanced-practice evidence ledger with a coverage panel — leadership, education, research, support of systems, autonomous practice, complex decision-making and complex care
    • A CV builder that generates from the same record as your hours and employer letters, so the three can't disagree
    • Statement of Service drafting: letterhead guidance, the right signatory, leave, the direct/indirect split, and the statutory-declaration route for the self-employed
    • Case exemplars with complexity markers, mapped to the official 12 practice statements — with Master's-program work automatically excluded from the endorsement export
    • Pathway 2 unit mapping and outline uploads for substantial-equivalence applicants
    • Master's placement (supervised practice) hours tracked separately — never mixed into the 5,000
    • Supervisor feedback recorded against official statement numbers
    • Easy-add capture: quick capture, voice notes, photo analysis of CPD certificates and shift logging. You check text before it is sent to AI. Photos and recordings wait for a confirm. Notes already in your record stay as you wrote them — they are not stripped later
    • Add on the go: email a note, certificate or link to your personal EndorseMe address, paste a podcast or article link (title and length fetched for you), or share straight from your phone — everything lands in a review queue and is guided into your CPD, hours, CV or notes, so nothing captured is ever lost
    • Connect your own AI assistant (MCP) to look up your records for reference
    • CPD tracked by AHPRA registration year: 20 hours for RNs, 30 for NPs including 10 NP-specific
    • Sim and viva practice: practise consultations with fictional patients and rehearse the viva with a practice panel, with feedback to learn from. It is training, never an assessment
    • A course finder for current professional development courses and learning opportunities

    Stage 3

    Public system-ready

    Endorsement is not the finish line — starting well in a public health service means credentialing, scope of clinical practice, and verification paperwork sorted before day one. EndorseMe helps you arrive with your evidence already assembled.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • Portfolio export, so your assembled evidence travels with you
    • Certification tracker for the credentials employers ask to sight
    • Referee and verification workflows
    • The After endorsement hub: public-system credentialing and scope-of-practice guidance for all 8 states and territories, with links to the official sources

    Stage 4

    Private practice-ready

    Many endorsed NPs move toward private or mixed practice. That world runs on different rails: recency of practice, indemnity insurance, MBS items, and referral pathways. EndorseMe keeps the reference material and your own obligations in one place.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • Recency-of-practice tracking for endorsed NPs (450 hours over 5 years)
    • Professional indemnity insurance (PII) status tracking
    • MBS item reference for Nurse Practitioner items
    • Pathology and radiology references
    • A PBS medicines lookup: listings, nurse practitioner prescribing and restrictions from the official PBS Schedule, refreshed each month
    • Private-practice setup steps in the After endorsement hub: Medicare provider numbers, the PBS prescriber number, state medicines setup, and what changed for collaborative arrangements on 1 November 2024

    Coming in Beta

    • MBS billing walk-throughs for the Nurse Practitioner items, drawn from the published MBS descriptors
    • Telehealth compliance guides, including the patient-location rule

    Stage 5

    Business-ready

    Once you're endorsed, you'll want to work, and it's a different world. Public roles, private practice, setting up a business, often several at once. EndorseMe's next chapters are built to walk you through it. Some endorsed Nurse Practitioners go further and build a service of their own: a clinic, a consultancy or a new model of care. That takes business, marketing and service-model thinking that nursing education rarely covers. The first guides for this stage are live now, and more are being built.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • Business setup steps in the After endorsement hub: business structure and ABN, insurance, contracts, practice software and records, a website, marketing within the Ahpra advertising guidelines, and AI readiness, each with links to the official sources. Reference only, not legal, tax or financial advice

    Coming in Beta

    • Business-case templates
    • A growing resource bank in the Practice Library — business cases, credentialing guides and service-model templates — every item reviewed by clinical admins before publication

    These guides are practical starting points written for the profession — not financial, legal or tax advice. For decisions in those areas, EndorseMe will always point you to the right qualified professional.

    Stage 6

    Give back & educate Australia

    The journey closes its own loop: experienced NPs supporting the next cohort, employers finding them, and the profession growing stronger for it. This is why the platform exists — support current and future Nurse Practitioners, strengthen the profession.

    How EndorseMe helps today

    • A free careers board — employers advertise Nurse Practitioner roles with no fees to advertise, ever, public and visible on Google, against the paid boards
    • A professional development calendar that syncs to your own phone calendar
    • A member community, including the private EndorseMe App Members Facebook group — peer support, moderator-approved
    • Mentor groups, where you learn with a mentor and peers
    • The EndorseMe Video Library: recorded teaching sessions and slides to watch any time

    Coming in Beta

    • Specialty groups: General Practice, Aged Care, Emergency, Paediatrics and more
    • Noticeboard
    • Partner workspaces for universities and employers

    The third chapter

    The Charlie phase — after Beta

    Alpha, Beta… then Charlie. Our third chapter has one job: help every Australian understand what a Nurse Practitioner is and what a Nurse Practitioner can do. Public education, plain-English campaigns, and putting the profession's story in front of the country — because access improves when Australia knows who Nurse Practitioners are.

    Coming after Beta — nothing in this phase is live yet.

    Who runs this

    EndorseMe is operated through a governed Admin Centre with separated roles: a Master Admin, Clinical Admins who are senior Nurse Practitioners, reviewers and moderators. Every administrative action is audit-logged, and no role can bypass the audit trail or access a private portfolio by convenience — your record is yours.

    EndorseMe is in an invite-only Alpha.

    A small group of current and future Nurse Practitioners is shaping the platform with us. Want a place in the Alpha, or first access to the Beta?

    EndorseMe supports your pathway and professional organisation. It does not decide eligibility, endorsement or submission outcomes — those decisions rest with AHPRA, the NMBA and your own professional judgement.
