Greyhound racing—transition package
Mr Ramsay (in reply to a question by Mr Parton on Tuesday, 12 September 2017):
As of 20 September 2017, I am advised that twenty five individuals have made direct contact with the Greyhound Industry Transition Taskforce.
These individuals represent a wide cross section of those with an interest in transition support, including racing industry employees and contractors, suppliers, greyhound re-homers and those working in the animal welfare sector.
Health—code of conduct
Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a question and a supplementary question by Ms Le Couteur on Tuesday, 19 September 2017):
1. The Government intends to adopt the Code for unregistered health workers in the ACT, this will involve amendment of the ACT Human Rights Commission Act 2005. Preliminary work has been progressed in consultation with the Health Services Commissioner.
2. If a person is practising in a field outside of the 14 registered health professions covered by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (the National Law) and regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), then there is currently no statutory scheme that regulates his or her conduct. The conduct of these practitioners may, of course, become the subject of criminal or civil action where relevant grounds exist.
If a person purports to hold themselves as being a registered health professional and they are not actually registered then this is a criminal matter under the National Law.
The National Law Part 7 indicates the protected titles of the 14 registered health professions. AHPRA takes primary responsibility for the enforcement of the offence provisions set out in Part 7 of the National Law.
