Practitioner Registration
“There is a large number of public health workers who feel somewhat adrift in that they have no professional allegiance, no professional recognition, no career structure, nothing to aim for professionally - but we expect them to do a very professional job”
(From ADsPH response to the consultation on public health regulation)
