National Registration

[BEorP]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering whether anyone has any concrete information on when National Registration will be coming. There was a lot of talk about 2012 being the year, but I can't find a whole lot of information online and I haven't gotten much of a response from Paramedics Australasia.

Thanks!

Probably the 12th...... Of never. It has been talked about & talked about. Maybe when bushy is an old man, cynical as I & ready to retire they will still be discussing it!

I rue the day i become a twisted old man like you phil......

I think the National Regisration thing came from a shake up of registration of health disciplines country wide... would you believe that natropaths made the list for registration but we didn't?

There was some representation to government about it a year or so ago, but i dont know what came of it.

Bushy there has been representations since Adam played half back for Eden.......

No doubt, but have you seen government action on any form of registration for ay health care discipline until the last 5 or so years?

I wonder why the keep leaving ambulance out? perhaps they are shit scared of what a political force it could be if we could actually get uniied under one body?

Thanks guys... at least it isn't just me who doesn't know what is going on!

I'm hoping that when it (if?) if does finally arrive then it will make things easier for me to get my foreign certification recognised since I can deal with the registration body and then try to get a casual position. I don't think QAS is eager to bring someone through their current equivalency process to just work casually!

with the federalisation of health practitioner regulation under the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency hopefully it sets a vehicle for ambo regulation in AU and it's been talked about for nearly 10 years here but only finally happening now

BEorP are you at UQ mate, if so lets have words, i am srsly looking at the MBBS program there

Personally I totally follow aussiephil...Never....

My management (which is not involved in the hole thing.... afaik) is 100% sure that November 2013 will be the date....

So....

Yeah....

Sure....

Kiwiology, I saw you are after someone at UQ and just wanted to say that I am currently there if you want to ask some questions I will try and answer them for you.
