Calling all NSW medical students!

The Health Professional Councils Authority (HPCA) is currently redeveloping their website, and they want your insight.

The HPCA is working to improve how health regulation information is presented, especially clarifying the roles of AHPRA, HCCC and HPCA for future health professionals/medical students.

They’re looking for feedback from medical students to help shape clearer, more useful resources for our careers ahead.

If you have 10 minutes, please complete the survey below.

Your voice will directly contribute to how health regulation is communicated to every future practitioner in NSW.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to support this important project!
