The NSW Health Professional Councils and the HPCA Joint Strategy 2024–2027 identifies 3 key priorities.

• Use evidence to build a more agile and responsive regulatory system
• Strengthen our focus on equity, inclusion and experience
• Embed cross-Council collaboration and stakeholder partnerships

In April 2026, the HPCA and all 15 NSW Health Professional Councils announced a single, consistent approach to managing complaints about health practitioner sexual misconduct.   

Family violence remains one of the most serious public health and safety threats across Australia. In November 2024, the 15 NSW Health Professional Councils and the HPCA released a joint statement taking a united stand on family violence with our regulatory partners: the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency and National Boards, the Health Care Complaints Commission and the Queensland Office of the Health Ombudsman.

The Councils and HPCA acknowledge that Aboriginal people have experienced, and continue to experience, higher levels of disadvantage, including poorer health outcomes.

In June 2023, we launched our joint Aboriginal Cultural Safety Strategy 2023–2024. 

We worked with the Aboriginal Cultural Safety Working Group, drawing on their expertise, lived experience and knowledge to develop the Strategy.

The Strategy is based on the understanding that that Aboriginal people define what cultural safety means for them.
