Conduct, Health & Performance

In Notifications & Outcomes:


Conduct

Activities considered as breaches of professional conduct are categorised as professional misconduct, unprofessional conduct, and notifiable conduct.

 

Health

Practitioners are health impaired if they have a physical or mental impairment, disability, condition or disorder that detrimentally affects, or is likely to detrimentally affect their capacity to practise their profession.

 

Performance

The professional performance of a registered practitioner is defined to be unsatisfactory if it is below the standard reasonably expected of a practitioner of an equivalent level of training or experience.

 

Notifications (includes Complaints)

Members of the public can make a notification to AHPRA about the conduct, health and performance of a practitioner or student.

Practitioners, employers and education providers are all mandated by law to report:

  • notifiable conduct relating to a practitioner or
  • in the case of a student, an impairment that may place the public at substantial risk of harm.

Registered practitioners and students who fail to report notifiable conduct may face disciplinary action by their National Board.
