Consumers and advocates: Help shape health regulation works in Australia!

The National Scheme has an important role in ensuring the development of a culturally safe and respectful health workforce that is responsive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples health and contributes to the elimination of racism in the provision of health services.

To achieve this, we have committed to increasing Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander leadership and voices on the Ahpra Board and warmly invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to apply.

We are also committed to increasing diversity and social inclusion. Applications are strongly encouraged from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, young people, people with a disability, LGBTIQA+ and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
