The Australian health ministers have launched a consultation on proposed amendments to the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law. The consultation paper addresses recommendations from the independent review of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme, such as examining the role of the National Scheme in supporting health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, streamlining the work of AHPRA and the National Boards, and making the National Scheme more efficient. The consultation paper is "intended to foster debate about whether the National Law remains up to date and fit for purpose, or whether further reforms are needed to deliver a stronger, fairer National Scheme and safe health workforce for all Australians."
