The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia (the Board) was appointed in July 2011 to prepare for the start of national registration for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners on 1 July 2012.
The Board undertakes wide-ranging consultation on proposals that affect the profession.
Current consultations are outlined below.
Where there are consultations which have closed, these are shown under Past Consultations, along with the submissions that were received.
Making a Submission
Submissions by post should be addressed to:
Executive Officer
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia
AHPRA
GPO Box 9958
Melbourne VIC 3001
The views expressed in the submissions are those of the individuals or organisations who submit them and their publication does not imply any acceptance of, or agreement with, these views by the Board.
The Board publishes submissions on its website www.atsihealthpracticeboard.gov.au to encourage discussion and inform the community and stakeholders.
Submissions that contain offensive or defamatory comments, or which are outside the scope of the discussion will not be placed on the Board’s website, nor made available to the public. Before publication, any personally identifying information will be removed from submissions.
The Board also accepts submissions made in confidence. These submissions will not be published on the website or elsewhere. Submissions may be confidential because they include personal or other sensitive information. Any request for access to a confidential submission will be determined in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Commonwealth), which has provisions designed to protect personal information and information given in confidence.
Please tell us if you do not want your submission published, or want us to treat any part of it as confidential. A link to the National Law is available at www.ahpra.gov.au/Legislation-and-Publications.aspx
Feel free to invite any other interested people to provide feedback to the Board on the above guidelines also.
