Court and tribunal decisions

Resources

Court and tribunal outcomes are independent and public.

Tribunal decisions relate to complaints or concerns about the conduct, performance or behaviour of a health practitioner.

Court decisions can sometimes refer to an appeal of a tribunal decision or more commonly the outcome in court of a criminal offence matter.

We publish summaries of these outcomes on the Ahpra and National Board websites. For decisions about practitioners in New South Wales, please refer to the Health Care Complaints Commission website.

We also publish a link to tribunal or court decisions on each practitioner’s record on the Public register which involve adverse findings and which were delivered after the start of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.

Publishing outcomes can help the person we receive the complaint or concern about see through the eyes of the person who raised it with us.

They also help practitioners understand how the National Law helps them to practise safely or ethically.

Importantly, they show members of the public what is an acceptable and unacceptable level of care and behaviour.

A full record of decisions made by adjudication bodies (other than panels) relating to complaints made about health practitioners or students is published in the Australian Health Practitioner Law Library published on the Australian Legal Information Institute’s (AustLII) website.
