Cream graphic from Neurodivergent Nurses Australia. A navy chip with a rainbow offset shadow reads CLINICAL PRACTICE, 20 OCT 2026. A solid dark green panel holds the headline Precepting is often a second job, with Precepting in rainbow letters. To its right, a flat green clipboard with a mint sheet and three bars stands beside two rounded person tokens, one larger and one smaller.
