National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS)
- Consultation on Bill B Exposure Draft
National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS) for regulating health professions, is scheduled to commence 1 July 2010.
On this date regulation of ten professions will transfer from states and territories to the new national agency Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and new National Boards for each of the ten health professions will take over functions from current state and territory boards.
The Exposure draft of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Bill B) has been released for consultation with submissions closing on 17 July 2009. The exposure draft sets the legal framework for the new National Registration and Accreditation Scheme for the Health Professions which begins on 1 July 2010.
The exposure draft is being released to enable further comment from the public, health practitioners and current registration boards prior to the Bill's introduction into the Queensland Parliament. Following passage in the Queensland Parliament, draft legislation will be introduced in all parliaments across Australia to adopt the new National law.
