ANTA Attend AHPRA Meeting

ANTA attended the Professions Reference Group (PRG) meeting at the AHPRA National Office in August 2015.

Attendees at the meeting included representatives from registered professions and senior AHPRA management.

The meeting was chaired by AHPRA CEO Martin Fletcher and discussed a wide range of topics including:

• Health Minister's response to final report of the review of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS)
• improving the notifications process
• risk-based approach to regulation
• raising public awareness of registration
• improvements to processes

ANTA is pursuing registration for natural therapists and attendance at these meetings is essential to keep the issue of registration at the forefront and to develop ongoing working relationships.

ANTA will be attending further AHPRA meetings and will continue to engage in dialogue with AHPRA management, Ministers and government departments to achieve our goal of registration for natural therapists.
