In preparation for the introduction of national medical registration from July 2010, the Australian Medical Council - on behalf of all state and territory medical boards - has developed a national code of professional conduct for medical practitioners – Good Medical Practice: A Code of Conduct for Doctors in Australia.
The code is at http://goodmedicalpractice.org.au/code/
The code aims to define clear, nationally consistent standards of practice. It defines the standards of practice that doctors are likely to be held accountable to in the national system after July 2010.
