Ahpra shared Code of conduct 8.1
Ahpra and the National Boards
Shared Code of conduct, June 2022, in effect from 29 June 2022
30 September 2026, Ahpra code page read 30 September 2026: a review of the codes is under way, no revised version published
Registered occupational therapists and physiotherapists. Not psychologists (the Psychology Board has its own code from 1 December 2025) and not speech pathologists (not registered under the National Law).
A review of the shared code is under way; the June 2022 code stays in effect until a revised one is published.
The National Law places statutory duties on practitioners to tell the Boards or Ahpra of certain matters (National Law ss 130 and 141 and the Board's mandatory notification guidelines) and professional duties to tell the Boards, Ahpra and their employers of any limitation placed on their practice. Good practice means the practitioner (a) knows these obligations, (b) complies with those that apply to their practice, and (c) seeks advice from the Board, their insurer or other bodies when unsure.
