On Friday Health Ministers met with Martin Fletcher, CEO of Ahpra, to discuss options to make registration more affordable during parental leave (see brief here).
In the meeting they noted that Ahpra is reviewing registration fee arrangements for practitioners taking parental leave; Ahpra agreed to report back to Health Ministers as a priority on this work.
VAHPA Members and AHPs can affect this outcome for the better with the following recommended actions:
✅ Signing and sharing the petition: http://megaphone.org.au/p/ahpra
✅ Reacting to this post and sharing it with your network
✅ Contacting your state/territory and federal health minister to voice your support for equitable Ahpra registration fees
Together we can make change happen.
