Tender Description

The opportunity

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) is the national organisation responsible for implementing the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme) across Australia.

Ahpra works in partnership with national health practitioner boards (15 National Boards) to ensure that the community has access to a safe health workforce across the 16 professions currently registered under the National Scheme. Every decision Ahpra and National Boards make is guided by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law as in force in each state and territory (the National Law).

Ahpra has an office in each state and territory responsible for the majority of operational matters and a national office in Melbourne. Ahpra reports to a Ministerial Council. Ahpra supports the operations of the National Boards for each profession covered by the scheme, and the state and territory boards and committees established by the National Boards.

The services provided by Ahpra to the National Boards employ best practice approaches to regulation and cover registration functions, the management of a national public register of health practitioners, the handling of notifications including tribunal cases and monitoring practitioners’ compliance with registration conditions or undertakings.

The RFQ

Ahpra is seeking to engage the services of a 100% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander owned and operated consultant (or organisation or consortium) with lived and living cultural experience to consult, develop, deliver and present to stakeholders the strategic objectives of the Cultural Safety pillar within the National Scheme Strategy and the next iteration of the multi-year National Scheme Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health and Cultural Safety Strategy (the Strategy) over a period of approximately six (6) months including an evaluation of the current 2020-2025 Strategy grounded in the rights-based Indigenist Critical Policy Analysis (ICPA) [1] framework or a similar Indigenous evaluation methodology as the approach and options to present learnings of the completed work of the Strategy to audiences domestically and potentially internationally, as required.
