Australian Medical Association calls for a Royal Commission into AHPRA
After months of escalating tensions between the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) and the medical industry, a motion by the Australian Medical Association (AMA) Victoria; approved by the AMA council; has requested a formal public inquiry into the regulator.
Calls for the inquiry are said to have stemmed from AHPRA’s lack of transparency, its treatment of practitioners in relation to freedom of speech, and its growing authority which was further extended this month by the Queensland Parliament who approved amendments to AHPRA law allowing practitioners under investigation to be publicly named before the completion of investigations.
AMA Victoria council member and Melbourne GP Dr Mukesh Haikerwal told the Medical Republic that ‘previous Senate-level inquiries into AHPRA had not gone far enough.’
“A Royal Commission goes beyond just the people in the senate, and it would be able to look at the documentation of cases that have been problematic,” Dr Haikerwal said.
