- AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) is the national regulator for 16 health professions, supporting profession-specific national boards including the Medical Board of Australia. The Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (2009) underpins it.
- Mandatory notifications apply when a practitioner believes another practitioner is impaired, intoxicated at work, sexually crossing boundaries with patients, or has departed seriously from accepted standards. Treating practitioners have a higher threshold than non-treating colleagues since 2020 reforms.
- Registration types: Provisional (intern year), General (post-PGY1), Specialist (after fellowship), Limited (overseas-trained), and Public Interest Pilot pathways. AHPRA also accredits training providers via the Australian Medical Council.
