- 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, under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (2009). AHPRA administers and investigates; the boards and tribunals decide.
- Registration types: provisional (intern year), general (after PGY1), specialist (after fellowship), limited (overseas-trained) and public interest pilot pathways. The Australian Medical Council accredits medical programs and assesses overseas-trained doctors.
- Mandatory notifications apply when a practitioner believes another practitioner is impaired, intoxicated at work, crossing sexual boundaries with patients, or has departed seriously from accepted standards. Since the 2020 reforms, treating practitioners notify only where there is a risk of substantial harm to the public.
