Appointment to the Expert Panel on Drug and Alcohol Screening

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) works in partnership with 15 National Boards to regulate more than 960,000 registered health practitioners and over 180,000 registered students across 16 health professions.

Applications are sought from medical practitioners with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of persons with drug and/or alcohol misuse, including impairment for appointment to the Expert Panel on Drug and Alcohol Screening (Expert Panel).

The Expert Panel is established by Ahpra to provide ongoing expert advice on the biological assessment, testing and monitoring of applicants and registrants with drug and/or alcohol misuse, including impairment.

The National Scheme has an important role in ensuring the development of a culturally safe and respectful health workforce that is responsive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples health and contributes to the elimination of racism in the provision of health services.

To achieve this, we have committed to increasing Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander leadership and voices on the Board and its committees and warmly invite Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islanders to apply.

The National Scheme is also committed to providing an environment that embraces and values equity, diversity and inclusion. We strongly encourage people of all abilities and backgrounds to apply, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, culturally diverse people, people with a disability, carers of a person with a disability, people living in rural or remote areas of Australia and people who identify as LGBTIQA+. If you need an adjustment or support during the recruitment process, we encourage you to advise us at the time of application.

Applications will be assessed by a selection advisory panel and appointments will be for a three-year term, with eligibility for reappointment.

More information about the role, eligibility requirements and the application process can be found in the Information guide and Terms of Reference

Information on the application process can be found in the PageUp applicant instructions guide

If you are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person and would like to talk about this opportunity, please email mobvoices@ahpra.gov.au.
