Review
Date added: August 2026
Ahpra has reviewed how it handles notifications involving racism and discrimination as part of its commitment to eliminating racism in healthcare. The review found that while notification numbers have remained stable, cases are becoming more complex due to broader social issues and online activity. It confirmed that Ahpra and the National Boards have generally applied appropriate regulatory responses, while identifying opportunities to strengthen guidance, consistency, training and support. These improvements will help ensure a fair, transparent and culturally informed approach that protects the public and maintains confidence in the regulatory system.
