Ministers release terms of reference of AHPRA Review

Under the terms of the Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) which established the National Law regulating health professions, and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), an independent review was to be initiated by the Australian Health Workforce Ministerial Council (AHWMC) following three years of the National Scheme’s operation. 

The terms of reference for the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) Review have now been released, and the scope of the Review is to be focussed on matters relevant to:
• identifying the achievements of the National Scheme against its objectives and guiding principles;
• the future sustainability of the National Scheme, any recommended changes and the specific matters articulated in the terms of reference paper;
• the administration of the National Scheme;
• the interface between the National Scheme and jurisdictional practices; and
• an assessment of the extent to which the National Scheme meets its aims and objectives.

Members who wish to offer suggestions for matters to be included in the ADA submission are welcome to forward these to garry.pearson@adavb.org
