AHPRA

AHPRA, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, is the national body that registers and regulates health practitioners in Australia. Every doctor providing care must hold current AHPRA registration, which patients can verify on the public register.

All Holistica Health doctors are AHPRA registered general practitioners.
