New Registration Act passed

The Victorian Parliament yesterday adopted the Health Professions Registration Act 2005 without amendment, and this legislation will now take effect from 1 July 2007.

The ADAVB and other professional associations of health practitioners have expressed concerns about a range of matters contained in this legislation, and we will continue to make strong representations about key issues affecting public health and safety and fair conduct of disciplinary processes.

The Health Professions Registration Bill remains available at the Parliamentary website for those members who have not yet had opportunity to review it.
