  • Victoria's Legislative Council Inquires
    STICKING UP FOR VICTORIA? — VICTORIA’S LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL INQUIRES INTO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AUSTRALIAN HEALTH PRACTITIONER REGULATION AGENCY DR GABRIELLE WOLF* This article analyses the report of the Victorian Legislative Council’s Legal and Social Issues Legislation Committee (‘Committee’) from its Inquiry into the Performance of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). AHPRA is a national body that provides administrative support for the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (NRAS), under which practitioners in 14 health professions across Australia are regulated. The article considers the Committee’s fi ndings and recommendations in light of the impetuses for the creation of the NRAS, as well as the structure and implementation of the NRAS and AHPRA. It is argued that that the value of the Committee’s report is confi ned to its identifi cation of important issues concerning the NRAS and AHPRA that, in the near future, will require a more critical and comprehensive investigation than the Committee undertook. I INTRODUCTION Two scandals in the fi rst years of the 21stt century eroded Australians’ confi dence in their system of regulating health practitioners. Dr Graeme Reeves and Dr Jayant Patel were charged with committing heinous crimes against patients while they were employed in hospitals and registered as medical practitioners by the Medical Boards of New South Wales and Queensland respectively. The only charges ultimately sustained against Patel related to his fraudulent representations to his registration body. Nevertheless, public outrage and government alarm in response to the original charges against Patel and to the events surrounding Reeves led to several inquiries into the cracks in the health system through which these practitioners had fallen.

  • Question on Notice No
    Question on Notice No. 236 Asked on 9 March 2005 MR HOPPER ASKED THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND THE ARTS (MS BLIGH) - QUESTION: (1) For each of the last two financial years and for the year to date (reported separately), will she provide a breakdown of the number of (a) approved and (b) actual full-time permanent classroom teachers, broken down by school and electorate? (2) For each of the last two financial years and for the year to date (reported separately), what is the number of (a) classroom teacher vacancies, (b) classroom teachers on stress leave or (c) classroom teachers seconded to corporate or head office roles, broken down by school and electorate? ANSWER: (1a) There is no specific approved allocation of permanent classroom teachers per school. The Department has committed to maximising permanency of employment in the teaching workforce through the Teachers’ Certified Agreement 2003. However, the Agreement acknowledges the genuine need for temporary and casual teachers to replace permanent teachers who take leave, resign, retire or transfer. The representation of permanent teachers in the workforce of any school is influenced by a range of workforce management considerations. (1b) Attachment A provides, by school and electorate, permanent classroom teachers classified at Band 1, 2, 3 and senior teacher levels in accordance with the Teachers’ Award State, who work full time. The count is taken from the Minimum Obligatory Human Resource Information (MOHRI) that is provided quarterly to the Department of Industrial Relations. Quarter 2 (June) 2003 and Quarter 2 (June) 2004 information from MOHRI are used to represent the last two financial years.
