On July 1, 2010, Australia’s new national health practitioner registration and accreditation scheme commenced. The governing legislation, the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009 (Qld), established rules for the mandatory reporting to the health practitioner boards of “notifiable conduct” on the part of other practitioners. Notifiable conduct includes: (1) practiced the profession while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs; or (2) engaged in sexual misconduct in connection with practice of the profession; or (3) placed the public at risk of substantial harm because the practitioner has an impairment; or (4) placed the public at risk of harm because the practitioner practiced the profession in a way that constitutes a significant departure from accepted professional standards.
