PLATFORM
Platform and features
In the platform, the website audit is being built to run 51 compliance checks across 5 categories: AHPRA advertising guidelines, TGA regulations, ACCC consumer law, Privacy Act requirements and general healthcare advertising standards. It is designed to scan your website, Google Business profile, online reviews and news mentions, with a severity level, the regulatory clause and a plain-English fix for each finding. A free website compliance check is available now. Run the free website check.
The policy manual is being built with 1,000+ regulation-mapped templates across 12 compliance pillars: governance, HR, WHS, facilities, infection prevention, privacy, patient care, clinical, medications, consent, billing and advertising. Each template is designed to be customised for your practice type and exported with your branding.
AHCRA is being built for 19 staff roles, including 13 AHPRA-registered professions and 6 non-registered roles. Each role will have compliance requirements pre-filled based on scope of practice. There will also be governance roles such as Infection Control Lead, Privacy Officer and WHS Representative.
Staff tracking is being built to cover 29 compliance requirements per staff member across 5 types: registrations (6), certifications (8), training modules (7), competencies (4) and administrative (4). It is designed to send expiry alerts at 90, 60 and 30 days, show each requirement as Current, Expiring Soon, Overdue or Not Recorded, and let staff upload evidence against each one.

COMPLIANCE
Compliance and regulations
AHCRA covers AHPRA advertising guidelines, TGA Therapeutic Goods Act, ACCC Australian Consumer Law, the Privacy Act 1988, Work Health and Safety Act, and relevant state-level legislation. Templates and checks are being mapped to specific regulatory clauses so you know exactly which obligation each one satisfies.
Our regulatory content is continuously monitored and updated to reflect changes in AHPRA guidelines, TGA regulations, and other relevant legislation. In the platform, when a regulation changes, affected templates and audit checks will be updated, with a notice explaining what changed and what you need to review.
AHCRA is being built to support compliance across all 12 pillars of healthcare practice management — governance, human resources, workplace health and safety, facilities, infection prevention, privacy, patient care, clinical practice, medications, consent, billing, and advertising. Each pillar is mapped to the relevant Australian standards and regulations.
That's what it's being built for. AHCRA's policy templates, staff tracking and compliance dashboards are designed to support accreditation preparation by keeping your documentation, training records and compliance evidence current. It won't replace the accreditation process itself.
The 12 core policy categories are: Governance, Human Resources, Workplace Health & Safety (WHS), Facilities, Infection Prevention, Privacy, Patient Care, Clinical, Medications, Consent, Billing, and Advertising. Each category will be colour-coded in the platform, with 5 conditional categories that appear based on your practice type and clinical services.
AHCRA is being built to track 29 compliance requirements per staff member, organised into 5 types: Registrations (6) — including AHPRA registration, professional indemnity insurance, and working with children checks. Certifications (8) — including CPR, first aid, anaphylaxis, and ALS. Training modules (7) — including infection control, hand hygiene, and cultural safety. Competencies (4) — including clinical assessment and medication administration. Administrative (4) — including police checks and immunisation records.
AHCRA is being built for all 8 Australian states and territories — New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, and Northern Territory. Each jurisdiction's state-specific rules will be applied to your compliance checks and policy templates.
