The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has called for common sense to prevail when it comes to criminal history checks for health practitioners. It comes following the College's submission to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) and National Board's review of the criminal history registration standard. Dr Emil Djakic, a member of the RACGP Expert Committee on Funding and Health System Reform, called for sensible changes to be made. "Criminal history checks play a key role in keeping patients across Australia safe; however, it's important that we get the finer details right to alleviate unnecessary stress for GPs," he said.
