Professional indemnity insurance arrangements

All health practitioners who undertake any form of practice in their respective profession(s) must have professional indemnity insurance (PII) arrangements that comply with the relevant registration standard, for all aspects of their practice.

Initial registration and annual renewal of registration requires a declaration that the health practitioner will not practice unless they have appropriate PII arrangements.

Revised PII arrangements registration standards approved

Revised PII arrangements registration standards for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Health Practice, Chinese medicine, occupational therapy and psychology boards took effect on 1 December 2019. See further details in the related news item.

These new standards were developed after a review of the existing standards, which included public consultation. The consultation report provides an overview of the consultation process, rationale for any changes and sets out the proposed way forward, including areas where further work is planned.
