Costs of Tribunals or panels by profession and state
Dear Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency,
I request a summary of costs incurred by AHPRA or its boards for dealing with complaints about practitioners, specifically for matters that get to the stage of Health or Performance assessments, Panel hearings, or Tribunal hearings, and specifically the costs incurred by those processes, over a recent reporting period (ie 23/24 or 24/25)
For example, legal costs in presenting a matter, remuneration for assessors, panel or tribunal members, costs for facilities in undertaking a hearing.
Please provide the requested information separated by profession, state and stage of matter.
Data could be given as an average, or total costs for the financial year. While seperated costs ( eg staffing, legal costs, facilities) would be appreciated, it is not required.
If the provision of this is overly onerous for all the sub boards, limiting it to Nursing, Midwifery, Medical Practitioners, and Dental would be acceptable
Yours faithfully,
Clancy
