Not the treating or employer duty: This page is the duty of a practitioner who forms the belief in the course of practising, not while treating the other practitioner. A treating practitioner reads s 141A and s 141B; an employer reads s 142.

| s 141 | A registered practitioner who, in the course of practising, forms a reasonable belief that another registered practitioner has engaged in notifiable conduct (s 140), or that a student has an impairment that may place the public at substantial risk of harm in clinical training, notifies Ahpra as soon as practicable. The duty does not arise where the belief is formed while providing a health service to that practitioner or student (ss 141A to 141C then apply), where formed as a professional indemnity insurer's employee from a disclosure in legal proceedings or advice, while advising for legal proceedings, as the person's lawyer, as a member of a statutory quality assurance body barred from disclosing, or where the practitioner knows or reasonably believes Ahpra already knows. Breach is not an offence but grounds for action. In Queensland the notification goes to the Health Ombudsman; in NSW read the NSW Part 8.
