Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 27 February 2024general_report

The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law Application Bill 2023, which aims to align WA's health practitioner regulations with national standards by adopting applied legislation. The committee found the bill impacts parliamentary sovereignty but acknowledges the disallowance mechanism provides oversight. They also highlight concerns about the exclusion of WA interpretation laws and a missing Henry VIII clause identification.

Impact
