THE Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and the 15 National Boards, which regulate over 744,000 practitioners across 16 health professions are rolling out newly modified logos (pictured right), replacing the previous style pictured above.
Celebrating the 10th year of implementing the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme), the regulatory bodies have created refreshed logos that are "better suited to digital platforms and for use across a variety of other materials".
Both logo designs also include 'AHPRA', now with just an initial capital: 'Ahpra', designed to help people "pronounce the name correctly" and distinguish Ahpra from other regulators with similar acronyms.
The new logos will be rolled out over coming months while the organisations update their secure online service portals and exhaust existing hard copy stationery stocks.
"Our aim is to ensure no disruption to the important online renewal of 180,000 practitioners across 13 health professions with registration expiring on 30 Nov 2019," Ahpra said.
