Our areas of focus this year included growing the workforce, meeting the evolving needs of health regulation, reducing the stress of regulatory processes, and cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

The National Boards work to ensure safe, quality healthcare by practitioners working in 16 professions across Australia. Learn about their activities in 2024/25.

Accreditation helps ensure that people seeking registration are suitably trained, qualified and competent to practise as health practitioners.

Reviewing and streamlining our registration systems and processes to support the workforce was a focus of our work in 2024/25.

Hearing from individuals or organisations with concerns about health practitioners is an important way we identify issues with safety and professionalism among registered health professionals.

Placing restrictions on a practitioner’s registration allows them to start or continue providing healthcare while keeping the public safe.

Allegations of professional misconduct by practitioners are decided by independent panels and tribunals. We prosecute allegations of criminal offences under the National Law.

We collaborate across professions and with other organisations to make sure that our standards, codes and guidelines are supported by strong evidence.
