In a concerning lack of progress, some Australian states have failed to implement regulations for unregistered health practitioners, nearly a decade after being instructed to do so. This delay poses significant risks to public health and safety, highlighting the need for urgent action to ensure all healthcare workers meet stringent standards. The Australian healthcare system requires robust oversight to protect patients from potential harm. Key reforms are needed to address this issue, including improved registration processes and enhanced healthcare regulation, to provide quality healthcare services and maintain public trust.
