National Health Practitioner Ombudsman
A National Health Practitioner Ombudsman has been established to receive complaints and help people who believe they may have been treated unfairly in administrative processes by the national agencies within the National Scheme.
Complaints can be made directly to the National Health Practitioners Ombudsman. However, the Ombudsman may refer complaints to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) or the National Boards to manage the complaint in accordance with this policy and procedure. If no resolution is achieved, or if a person has concerns with the handling of the complaint, the National Health Practitioner Ombudsman may conduct an independent review of the complaint and its management.
