AHPRA wants your views on regulatory principles

National Boards and AHPRA are seeking feedback through an online survey on the regulatory principles that were launched in July last year.

The Regulatory principles describe the National Boards' and AHPRA’s approach to regulation. AHPRA says these principles "encourage a responsive, risk-based approach to regulation and support consistent, balanced decision-making. The aim of the principles is to foster a considered approach to regulation, reducing the risk of unnecessary and ineffective regulatory action, and focussing resources on areas where the result is harm minimisation. We are inviting members of the public, health consumers, health practitioners and all interested persons to share their views on our regulatory principles through this brief survey. The survey has 11 questions and should only take about five to ten minutes to complete."

AHPRA also advises that responses to the survey "will inform the ongoing implementation of the principles and how they could be further developed and improved".

Complete the survey by 9am Monday 18 May by following the link above.
