People who pretend to be medical practitioners will face tougher penalties under new laws which have come into effect. From 1 July, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority will be able to impose penalties, including a maximum jail term of three years, on those pretending to be a registered practitioner. People can check on a medical practitioner by calling AHPRA on 1300 419 495 or searching online at ahpra.gov.au.
