Criminal changes?
June 27, 2012
THE Australian Health Practitioner
Regulation Agency is calling for
feedback on options for refining
the international criminal history
checks it uses when assessing
applications for health registration
for the 14 health professions
regulated under the Health
Practitioner Regulation National
Law Act.
Outlined in a consultation paper,
the possible options for criminal
check procedures include: applicant
declaration only, applicant provides
criminal history clearance evidence
within application, AHPRA obtains
clearance/information from
jurisdictions outside Australia when
processing application, and
applicant makes declaration and
AHPRA undertakes random sample
audit.
To view the consultation paper
CLICK HERE, and to have your say
on the proposals, email
criminalhistoryconsult@ahpra.gov.au
by close of business on 17 August.
