Ahpra registration fee equity campaign
Thanks to your advocacy, the issue of equitable registration fees for healthcare practitioners was discussed at the last Health Ministers Meeting and Ahpra is now conducting a review of registration fees.
Thanks to your advocacy, the issue of equitable registration fees for healthcare practitioners was discussed at the last Health Ministers Meeting. Ahpra is now conducting a review of registration fees, focusing on “protected attributes” such as parental leave status and disability, which are recognised under anti-discrimination laws. While this review is a positive step, we know that applying the principles of equity is broader than merely avoiding unlawful discrimination and we’re making that clear to Ahpra – but we need your help.
Our petition has now reached over 3,600 signatures and we need your help to push that number even higher. Sign the petition to improve equity in healthcare.
Let your MP know that this issue is important to you.
Help us create a fairer system for all, and push Ahpra to walk the talk when it comes to equity, inclusion and diversity within Australian healthcare. Together we are making change.
AMA Queensland wrote to Health Minister Shannon Fentiman urging her to support reduced registration fees for healthcare practitioners on parental leave. Minister Fentiman responded to our letter on 24 September 2024.
