Australia: calls for healthcare regulation reform
Date postedOctober 24, 2024
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is calling for an overhaul of Australia's healthcare regulation system, focusing on improving complaints handling, accreditation, and governance. In a submission to the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme's (NRAS) Complexity Review, the RACGP emphasized the need for better complaint management processes, which currently stress general practitioners and may involve vexatious complaints. The submission also cautions against overly broad regulatory changes that might hinder workforce growth or reduce safety standards.
