Role
The Medical Board of the Northern Territory is a statutory body responsible for ensuring the public is protected through the regulation of medical practitioners registered in the Northern Territory.
The Medical Board carries out this mandate by:
- Ensuring that all medical practitioners have received educational preparation to an agreed national standard;
- Dealing with issues of conduct and taking any disciplinary action as required;
- Administering the framework under which impaired medical practitioners can be rehabilitated without necessarily losing their license to practice;
- Assisting to improve medical practitioners performance should it be found to be below accepted professional standards, and
- Ensuring that all medical practitioners either currently registered or intending to be registered are competent and fit to practise.
The Health Professions Licensing Authority (HPLA) provides a bureau service to the Medical Board and carries out administrative duties as directed by it.
The objectives of the Health Practitioners Act 2004 (the Act) requires the Medical Board to:
- Protect and promote the health and safety of the people of the Territory;
- Promote the highest standard of professional health care practice in the Territory;
- Determine the standards for Registration and enrolment of health practitioners and for professional health care practice in the Territory, and
- Facilitate the continuing competence of health practitioners in the Territory.

Medical Register
The register identifies registrants as having either full registration/enrolment or conditional registration/enrolment.
Conditional registration/enrolment means that there are some restrictions on the person's practice. Such restrictions are diverse in nature and further information about the conditions applying to a particular registrant can be obtained by contacting us.
Please note that the registers available on this website are only updated monthly. For current information on Registration status please contact us.
