Re: Did you know that aseptic technique is in the HEALTH PRACTITIONER REGULATION (NEW SOUTH WALES) REGULATION 2010 – SCHEDULE 1 ??

Seems like all Australian states have a regulation in regards to Healthcare
Practitioner legislation..

Interesting..

PRACTITIONER REGULATION (NEW SOUTH WALES) REGULATION 2010 – SCHEDULE 1 ??

Hi

I did find it in the old NSW Regulations

http://www5.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/num_reg/na1991rrtics1995221601.pdf

I did not remember it being in the NSW legislation from the 90s!

Thanks

Of Montague, Cathi (Health)
PRACTITIONER REGULATION (NEW SOUTH WALES) REGULATION 2010 – SCHEDULE 1 ??

Not in SA regulations current version on
http://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/LZ/C/A/Health%20Practitioner%20Regulation%2
0National%20Law%20(South%20Australia)%20Act%202010.aspx unless buried in
subsequent gazette.

I thought the intent of these legislations was that they would all be the
same across Australia??

Great amendment tho.

Would be even stronger if point one went both ways (staff to patient and
vice-versa transmission)

Will be interested to see others point of view / other states responses.

Best regards,

Cathi
