OBA Pilots New Audit Approach
The National Boards and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) are developing a nationally-consistent approach to auditing health practitioners’ compliance with mandatory registration standards.
A random selection of optometrists took part in an audit pilot when they applied to renew registration for 2012/13.
The findings from the program run by AHPRA (which included the chiropractic and pharmacy professions) will be used to develop the framework for auditing all practitioners on an ongoing basis.
