Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022

This bill makes the second major stage of reforms to Australia's national law governing the registration and regulation of health practitioners across 16 professions. It strengthens protections for patients by giving regulators new powers to act against dangerous practitioners, improves information sharing between regulators and employers, and introduces a new objective for cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
