In essence, the law is out of date, confusing and not clearly understood. In response to this request and a request received by the former Director General of Health in

2011, AusAID contracted a technical adviser to undertake a review of the following health-related legislation and rules: Health services laws and the health committees Act, Public health act (1994), Health information, Health practitioner’s registration law, Nurses Act.

legislation working closely with and supported by a technical adviser provided by the Partnership and the technical adviser being provided by the AusAID funded Health Program.

The Partnership is funding the short term technical adviser to provide support to the VLC and the research officer from the VLC who will be participating in the health-related legislative review consultation commencing in July for a period of 10 weeks.
