Ahpra and National Boards release advanced copy of revised shared Code of Conduct
Ahpra and National Boards (except Medical, Nursing and Midwifery and Psychology) have published an advance copy of the revised shared Code of Conduct.
The shared Code of Conduct was first developed in 2010 for the start of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. It has been jointly revised by 12 National Boards and Ahpra, including a public consultation.
The code has been revised so that it continues to be relevant and useful for practitioners, more accessible for health consumers, and an effective and up-to-date regulatory tool.
The revised code comes into effect on 29 June 2022 and applies to the following National Boards: Paramedicine, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice, Chinese medicine, Chiropractic, Dental, Medical radiation practice, Occupational therapy, Optometry, Osteopathy, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, and Podiatry.
An advance copy of the code has been published to provide the public, practitioners and other stakeholders with an opportunity to become familiar with the new information and supporting resources before they come into effect.
