Ahpra and the 15 National Boards don't currently lower fees or provide any proper mechanism or registration fee category to assist healthcare workers who take parental leave. This affects over 877,000 Australian healthcare workers, who are a diverse and predominantly female workforce.
With healthcare worker shortages across the country it’s concerning that Ahpra consider non-practising registration a viable solution for parental leave. We need the Australian healthcare regulator to provide systems that support a flexible and responsive workforce of over 877,000 diverse and predominantly female healthcare workers. Their current approach is rigid, inequitable and inflexible, and it must change.
