National Boards in conjunction with the National Agency (AHPRA) keep public national registers of all registered health practitioners.
These form the public Registers of Practitioners which also include specialists from the dental, medical and podiatry professions.
Within the registers, Chinese medicine, dental, medical radiation and nursing professions are further categorised into divisions. All National Boards with corresponding professions and divisions are shown below.
