Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill changes when health practitioners must report colleagues they're treating to regulators, and increases penalties for people pretending to be registered health practitioners. The reporting changes aim to encourage practitioners with mental health or substance issues to seek treatment without fear of automatic career consequences.

Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Surgeons) Amendment Bill 2023
This bill protects the title 'surgeon' so only medical practitioners with significant surgical training can use it. It responds to widespread consumer confusion in the cosmetic surgery industry, where any doctor could previously call themselves a 'cosmetic surgeon' regardless of their qualifications, putting patients at risk.
