The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) is the organisation responsible for the implementation of the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme across Australia. AHPRA works with 15 National Health Practitioner Boards in implementing the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.
An authorised witness taker may be called to sign documents for people looking to register with one of the Health Practitioner Boards as noted above. Registration is needed to be able to have the necessary qualifications to work in Australia.
