The National Law is the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, as in force in each state and territory.
The National Law is a state and territory based legislation, it is not a commonwealth law.
The National Scheme has a number of objectives, including to:
- help keep the public safe by ensuring that only health practitioners who are suitably trained and qualified to practise in a competent and ethical manner are registered
- facilitate workforce mobility for health practitioners
- facilitate provision of high quality education and training for practitioners
- facilitate the assessment of overseas qualified practitioners
- facilitate access to provided by health practitioners, and
- enable the continuous development of a flexible Australian health workforce.
Anyone who calls
themselves any of the ‘protected titles’ in the National Law, such as
‘chiropractor’, ‘medical practitioner’, ‘midwife’ or ‘psychologist’,
must be registered with the corresponding National Board.
It is an offence to call yourself one of the protected titles, and it
is also an offence to hold yourself out to be a registered practitioner
when you are not, or use symbols or language that may lead a reasonable
person to believe that you are registered.
