21.01.2022 Over 40,000 health practitioners recalled to work: Its all hands to the wheel with 40,000 doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists who previously held general or specialist registration being asked to return to work. They are being asked under specialist provisions established for the COVID-19 pandemic. They will be re-registered for a year. To be eligible, they would have left the register of practitioners or moved to non-practising registration in the past three years.... Only those who are properly qualified, competent and suitable will be returned to the register. Practitioners who were subject to regulatory action in the past three years will not be re-registered. Following a request from Australias Health Ministers for more health practitioners to return to practice, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency together with the Medical Board of Australia, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia and the Pharmacy Board of Australia established a short-term pandemic response sub-register. Advertisement The aim is to get to get more practitioners into the health system quickly and safely, says AHPRA chief Martin Fletcher. He said it plans to get this sub-register set up as soon as possible and will contact all 40,000 practitioners who meet the criteria to alert them that they will be added to this new sub-register. The temporary sub-register will operate on an opt-out basis with practitioners added to the pandemic sub-register automatically. They will not need to fill in forms or pay fees, nor meet the usual return to practice requirements. RELATED Vet sector to be tapped for ICUs There is no obligation for anyone added to the sub-register to practise or remain on it. They can opt out at any time. Employers and health departments will help with undertaking employment and probity checks, providing whatever induction and training may be needed. If people wish to continue practising after the emergency, they will be able to apply for ongoing registration through the standard process. AHPRA works in partnership with 15 National Boards to regulate Australias 740,000 registered health practitioners. Other health practitioners including physiotherapists and radiographers will be added to the sub-register in the near future. #Ahpra Registration # Ahpra Renewal process Do Contact for further details.

12.01.2022 Tough Time For Skill Select : A tiny number of invitations A tiny 100 invitations were issued in the April 2020 round, dropping to just 50 applications each for the Subclass 189 Skilled Independent and Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional (Family Sponsored) visa.... The minimum points score rose to 95 points for each subclass type, which is not surprising based on the very small number of invitations issued. Pro-rata occupations: Due to high levels of demand, certain occupations are issued invitations on a pro-rata basis. Places are first allocated to 189 EOIs, with remaining places issued to the 491 Family Sponsored EOIs.
