Ahpra and the National Boards carry out wide-ranging consultation on proposals that affect the professions.
From time to time, they release consultation papers, asking stakeholders to provide input that will help shape registration standards, codes and guidelines, and policies.
Where there are consultations which have closed, they will be shown under Past Consultations, along with the submissions that were received.
For information about our consultation process, visit the Procedures page.
Released: 10 November 2022
Closes: 31 January 2023
The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) has launched a public consultation on our draft Data strategy and future directions for three focus areas:
Ahpra invites practitioners, members of the community, employers and other stakeholders to give feedback on the draft Data strategy and the future uses of the data we collect and hold.
Ahpra has published a consultation paper that includes the draft Data strategy and further information about the three focus areas, including case studies. A link to the consultation paper is available below.
Resources for practitioners, the public and health sector employers have also been developed to highlight how some of the concepts discussed in the draft Data strategy may be relevant to these groups.
We encourage you to use the online form to make your submission.
If you are unable to use the online form, you can make a written submission using Word (or an equivalent). Please email your submission to AhpraConsultation@ahpra.gov.au with the subject line ‘Consultation submission – Data strategy’.
The questions in the online form and the consultation paper are the same.
