Registered Health Practitioners - Mandatory reporting

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency require mandatory reporting of "sexual misconduct in the practice of the profession" for all registered health practitioners. You can find out more from their web page here.

All registered health practitioners have a professional and ethical obligation to protect and promote public health and safe healthcare. Health practitioners and their employers, as well as education providers, also have mandatory reporting responsibilities under the National Law. Education providers, registered health practitioners and their employers must tell us if they have formed a reasonable belief that a registered health practitioner has behaved in a way that constitutes notifiable conduct.
Notifiable conduct by registered health practitioners is defined as:
  • practising while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs 
  • sexual misconduct in the practice of the profession 
  • placing the public at risk of substantial harm because of an impairment (health issue), or 
  • placing the public at risk because of a significant departure from accepted professional standards.

To make a complaint

There is comprehensive information on the Agency's website (click on the link here) and if you are unsure you can phone them on 1300 419 495.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. ​We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
