Get involved with the Council

There are a range of ways to get involved with our work or with any of the NSW Health Professional Councils.

Joining the Council as a member is one way, but there are many other roles critical to the work we do in protecting public safety and upholding standards.

They include sitting on Council committees and panels, conducting health and performance assessments, and making recommendations to the Council.

Council members can be health practitioners or members of the community. They serve terms of up to 3 years and can serve a maximum of 3 terms (9 years). The level and time commitment that our hearing and panel members give depends on the work required and when they are available.

The broad pool of expertise we draw from is central to delivering safe and effective health regulation in NSW.

On this page, we’ll share open expressions of interest for roles such as:

• Council members
• Council‑appointed health assessors
• Hearing members.

Each role has its own requirements, but we often look for people who can bring:

• strong community perspectives
• experience in governance, ethics, education, or consumer rights
• good judgement, integrity, and independence
• clear communication skills
• the ability to work well with others.

Some roles welcome people who are not registered health practitioners, while others need specific professional qualifications.

We aim to build councils that reflect the diverse NSW community, and we welcome interest from people of all backgrounds, ages, identities, and lived experiences.

There are no open expressions of interest right now. When opportunities become available, we will share:

• the role description
• eligibility requirements
• selection criteria
• how to apply
• key dates.
