In 1992, Wentworth Area Health Service in New South Wales, Australia, initiated the first area-wide review of the role of clinical nurse consultants (CNCs). Its purpose was to determine and define the role and function of CNCs. Previously, only broad guidelines had been described in the state Nurses Award. The review included an analysis of how Wentworth Area Health Service CNCs spent their time, a comparison with CNCs from other Area Health Services, and a survey of the opinions of Wentworth Area Health Service nurse managers. The four common components of CNC roles identified were: education, liaison/resource, research, and clinical. The review highlighted the diversity of the CNC role, and outcomes from the review included a statement of role descriptors, development of a professional peer support group, and better utilization of CNCs within this Area Health Service.
1992年，澳大利亚新南威尔士州的温特沃斯地区卫生服务中心发起了首次对临床护士顾问（CNC）角色的全地区性审查。其目的是确定并界定临床护士顾问的角色和职能。此前，该州的《护士奖》中仅描述了宽泛的指导方针。此次审查包括对温特沃斯地区卫生服务中心的临床护士顾问如何分配时间进行分析，与其他地区卫生服务中心的临床护士顾问进行比较，以及对温特沃斯地区卫生服务中心护士经理的意见进行调查。确定的临床护士顾问角色的四个共同组成部分为：教育、联络/资源、研究和临床。此次审查突出了临床护士顾问角色的多样性，审查结果包括一份角色描述声明、一个专业同行支持小组的组建，以及在该地区卫生服务中心内对临床护士顾问的更好利用。
