While its primary function is to apply the national text to Western Australia, it also: (a) inserts a new standalone offence prohibiting 'restricted birthing practice' subject to exemptions (Part 3, s.26 — new s.123A), (b) alters mandatory notification provisions and deletes certain notification-related sections (Part 3, ss.27–28), (c) replaces the general rule on proceedings for offences to permit summary proceedings and to allow certain offences to be commenced at any time (Part 3, s.33 — new s.242), and (d) excludes several WA oversight Acts from applying to the National Law (s.22). These amendments materially change the regulatory and criminal scope of the law in WA compared with a plain carry‑over of the earlier WA enactment."},"complexity_factors":["Extensive cross-referencing to an external Queensland Act (Schedule to Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Act 2009) and to Queensland amending Acts (multiple sections, notably s.5(1) and Part 3)","Multiple commencement conditions and timing links to provisions coming into operation in Queensland, plus Governor proclamations (ss.2, 6–10)","Separate tabling, notice and disallowance regimes for amending Acts and national regulations with distinct timing rules (ss.7–9; ss.15–16)","Around 40 defined terms and numerous defined-term dependencies across Parts (see Defined terms list and s.3)","Modifications of the National Law Schedule producing inserted, deleted and replaced provisions (Part 3 contains many targeted changes including a new criminal offence, deletions and a replaced s.242)","Nested conditional application of national regulations depending on whether an amending Act has effect for WA (ss.13–14)","Significant transitional regime handling pending matters, applications, appeals, fees and regulations with power to make transitional regulations that can operate retrospectively within a 2‑year window (Part 5, ss.42–49)","Exclusion of multiple WA Acts (FOI, Auditor General, Financial Management, etc.) from applying to the National Law, with carve-ins for public‑sector bodies (s.22) — creates two different compliance tracks","Insertion of criminal-law penalties and changes to limitation/commencement for proceedings (new s.123A; replacement s.242) adding legal and prosecutorial complexity"],"plain_english_summary":"**What this Act does (mechanically)\n\n- Applies the national Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (the National Law) to Western Australia as a State law, subject to specified modifications (see Part 2, especially sections 5–6 and Part 3).  The version adopted is the National Law as it stood on 10 October 2023, plus certain Queensland amendments and the changes listed in this Act (s.5(1)).\n\n- Makes the national regulations (those made under the National Law or under later Queensland amending Acts) operate in WA as subsidiary legislation called the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Regulation (Western Australia), but subject to WA tabling, publication and disallowance rules (s.12–16).\n\n- Requires Queensland amending Acts and certain national regulations to be laid before WA Parliament and permits the Houses to disallow them in specified ways (s.7–9, s.15–16).\n\n- Modifies the National Law in specific ways listed in Part 3. The most notable changes include:\n  - Introducing a new offence that criminalises undertaking \"restricted birthing practice\" except where performed by a medical practitioner, a registered midwife, an authorised student, under supervision in approved programs, or in emergencies (new s.123A; Part 3, s.26). Maximum penalty: $60,000 or 3 years imprisonment or both.\n  - Altering mandatory notification wording (amendment to s.141) and deleting some earlier notification-related provisions (deletions at ss.27 and 28).\n  - Replacing the general offence-proceedings rule so that proceedings are summary and certain offences may be commenced at any time (new s.242; Part 3, s.33).\n  - Other targeted textual changes and deletions in the Schedule to the Queensland Act (Part 3).\n\n- Declares the State Administrative Tribunal to be the responsible tribunal for WA matters under the National Law (s.19) and converts references to appeals so they operate as reviews under WA tribunal law (s.36).\n\n- Authorises the WA Police Commissioner to provide criminal history information to National Boards or to intermediary enforcement agencies for the purpose of transmission to National Boards (s.35).\n\n- Excludes several WA Acts (for example, Freedom of Information Act, Auditor General Act, Financial Management Act and certain public sector laws) from applying to the National Law and instruments made under it, except where those Acts are expressly applied (s.22).\n\n- Repeals the prior WA enactment that applied the National Law in WA (Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (WA) Act 2010) and contains detailed transitional provisions to carry over ongoing applications, reviews, appeals, fees and regulations (Part 5, especially ss.38, 42–49).\n\n- Allows the Governor to make local regulations needed to implement this Act in WA (s.37).\n\n\nWho is affected\n\n- Registered health practitioners (doctors, midwives and other registered professions), students in regulated programs, National Boards and the National Agency. (See general application: s.5 and the Schedule modifications in Part 3.)\n- Independent midwives and other persons who may provide birthing care: they face new criminal liability unless they meet the narrow exemptions in new s.123A (Part 3, s.26).\n- Employers and third parties who may be asked by National Boards for employment information about registrants (note added to s.206 in Part 3, s.31).\n- WA Police and national enforcement bodies, which are enabled to share criminal-history data with National Boards (s.35).\n- Entities and individuals who previously relied on WA-specific oversight or transparency mechanisms (for example, FOI): several WA oversight Acts do not apply to the National Law as a matter of course (s.22).\n\n\nWhy it matters (stated official purpose and practical implications)\n\n- Officially the instrument brings WA onto the same national regulatory footing as other participating jurisdictions by adopting a consolidated version of the National Law and the national regulations with some WA-specific adjustments (s.5–6, Part 3). That centralises regulation under the National Law text adopted.\n\n- Practical, measurable effects and trade-offs:\n  - Criminalisation and professional restrictions: The creation of a specific offence for \"restricted birthing practice\" (new s.123A) changes the legal risk profile for anyone providing or attempting to provide the full management of labour outside the listed exemptions. This imposes compliance risk and possible criminal liability on individuals or services that previously operated in legal uncertainty (Part 3, s.26).\n  - Regulatory enforcement and timing: Replacing the proceedings rule and allowing some offences to be commenced at any time (new s.242) removes or extends limitation-period protections for certain offences (Part 3, s.33). That increases exposure to historic allegations.\n  - Administrative and compliance burden: National Boards will continue to set codes, standards and may request employment details (note to s.206), and national regulations will apply in WA automatically subject to WA tabling/disallowance processes — meaning WA practitioners and organisations must follow national instrument changes that may be made outside WA’s Parliament (s.12–16; Part 3, s.31).\n  - Information flows and privacy trade-offs: The WA Police Commissioner is authorised to share criminal history information with National Boards (s.35). That supports regulator checks but increases the operational flow of criminal records into national regulatory decision-making.\n  - Local oversight and transparency: Several WA Acts, including FOI and the Auditor General Act, are excluded from applying to the National Law (s.22). Public-sector bodies exercising functions under the National Law remain subject to those WA Acts (s.22(3)), but other national entities operating in WA will not, which may change transparency and audit pathways.\n  - Centralisation vs local control: The Act accepts national rule‑making (including Queensland-originated amending Acts and national regulations) but subjects their practical operation in WA to tabling, publication and potential disallowance (s.7–9, s.15–16). This preserves a parliamentary check in WA but does not stop the National Board/regulator from moving first at a national level.\n\n\nCosts, incentives and implementation risks (concrete mechanics)\n\n- Who pays: regulated practitioners and their employers bear most direct compliance costs — for registration, meeting codes and standards, defence against investigations, and potential criminal liability if operating outside authorised roles (see s.123A, Part 3). The State bears transitional implementation costs for legislation, tribunal arrangements and any local regulatory changes.\n\n- Who decides: national rule-makers (National Boards and national regulations traced to Queensland Acts) set primary standards and rules; WA Parliament retains a tabling/disallowance function and the Governor proclaims Queensland amendments into operation for WA (s.7–9, s.15–16).\n\n- Behavioural effects: independent or alternative birthing providers will likely alter practice (stop providing full labour care or seek supervision/registration) to avoid the new criminal penalty (s.123A). National Boards may request employment information and use criminal-history disclosures in registration and disciplinary processes (s.35; note to s.206).\n\n- Trade-offs and opportunity costs: adopting the national text reduces duplication of separate state frameworks and promotes uniformity across jurisdictions, but it also shifts regulatory detail (and responses to change) to national processes anchored in Queensland law; WA’s local policy options are narrower once the national text is adopted, except where this Act specifically modifies the Schedule.\n\n- Implementation risk: the Act relies on accurate cross-jurisdictional timing (proclamations, Queensland commencement of provisions) and on Parliamentary tabling/disallowance mechanics that are procedural and time‑sensitive (s.8–9, s.15–16). Transitional regulations can back-date effects within a two‑year window (s.49), which creates legal complexity for retrospective arrangements.\n\n\nSection references of most consequential changes\n\n- Adoption and commencement of National Law: ss.5–6.\n- National regulations as subsidiary legislation, publication and tabling: ss.12–16.\n- WA-specific modifications to the National Law (Schedule): Part 3 (notably new s.123A in s.26; s.33 replaces s.242; s.27 and s.28 amend/delete notification provisions).\n- Responsible tribunal: s.19 and s.36.\n- Police Commissioner may give criminal history information: s.35.\n- Exclusion of some WA Acts (FOI, Auditor General, etc.): s.22.\n- Repeal of previous WA enactment and transitional rules: ss.38 and Part 5 (ss.39–49).\n\n\nBottom line (analyst’s concise takeaways)\n\n- Mechanically, WA has adopted the national Health Practitioner Regulation regime as its law, with explicit WA modifications, a new local tabling/disallowance regime for national changes, and transitional rules to move matters across without interruption (s.5–16; Part 3; Part 5).\n- The most consequential substantive change for individuals is the specific new criminal offence for restricted birthing practice (new s.123A) and related changes to notifications and offence proceedings (Part 3). These change legal risk and regulatory exposure for midwives and anyone practising full labour care outside defined exemptions.\n- The Act centralises regulatory decision-making at the national level (National Boards, national regulations) while preserving procedural parliamentary checks in WA; it also limits the automatic application of several WA oversight laws to the National Law, which alters local transparency and audit pathways (s.7–9, s.12–16, s.22)."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Unable to assess whether scope changed from original intent — no legislative text was available for analysis.

It replaces the old 2010 WA version with a new 'application' that adopts the Queensland-based national law, but with specific WA tweaks.\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Adopts the national law**: It applies the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (which is actually a Queensland law) as if it were WA law, but calls it the 'Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Western Australia)'. This keeps WA in sync with other states on how health professionals are registered and regulated.\n- **Updates the version**: It starts with the national law as it stood on 10 October 2023, plus specific amendments from Queensland's 2022 amending Act.\n- **WA-specific changes**: It modifies the national law for WA's needs, including:\n  - Adding 'physician' as a term for medical practitioners in the table of offences.\n  - Creating a new offence called 'restricted birthing practices' (managing childbirth) that can only be done by doctors, midwives, students, or in emergencies. Breaking this carries up to $60,000 fine or 3 years jail.\n  - Changing mandatory notification rules so health practitioners must report impaired colleagues, but tweaking when this applies.\n  - Removing some Queensland-specific provisions that don't apply to WA.\n  - Making the State Administrative Tribunal the 'responsible tribunal' for appeals.\n- **Parliamentary oversight**: Sets up a system where future Queensland amendments to the national law must be tabled in WA Parliament and can be disallowed (rejected) by WA MPs.\n- **Transitional arrangements**: Ensures existing registrations, pending applications, and ongoing legal proceedings continue smoothly under the new law.\n- **Consequential amendments**: Updates references in the Liquor Control Act and National Health Funding Pool Act to point to the new law.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone registered as a health professional in WA (doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, etc.).\n- Students training in these professions.\n- National Boards that oversee each profession.\n- The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).\n- Women giving birth and midwives (due to the new restricted birthing practices offence).\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis keeps WA's health professional regulation aligned with national standards while maintaining WA's ability to make local changes. The new restricted birthing practices offence is particularly significant as it criminalises certain childbirth assistance by unqualified people. The law also ensures WA Parliament keeps control over future changes to the scheme."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024","history":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024/history","analysis":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/health-practitioner-regulation-national-law-application-act-2024/documents"}}
