www.abc.net.auI don’t currently have live access to up-to-the-minute news feeds. Here’s what I can share based on recent public reporting and Ahpra’s own updates.
- Ahpra is continuing its reform agenda under a new five-year strategy, with a focus on strengthening public protection, improving access to safe care, and increasing transparency in the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.[2][3]
- Key recent developments include the Dawson Review, which examined complexity in the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme and recommended actions for Ahpra, governments, and stakeholders; Ahpra has publicly welcomed the roadmap and is aligning its reform program with those recommendations.[2]
- Ahpra has announced ongoing initiatives such as expanding reform work, combatting discrimination in the health workforce, and preparing for new operating systems and improved case management to enhance timeliness and fairness in regulation.[3]
