What is the Podiatrists Registration
Board?

The Podiatrist Registration Board is established under
the Podiatrists Registration Act 1995. The Board’s
overarching mandate is to regulate the profession of
podiatry in the public interest. The functions, powers
and objectives of the Board are detailed in the Act.
The Board’s main regulatory functions are:
* to determine the requirements for entitlement for
registration in Tasmania
* to investigate complaints against registered podiatrists
* to monitor the standard and provision of podiatric
services.
The Board comprises three members who are registered
podiatrists and two persons who are not podiatrists.
All members are appointed by the Governor on the recommendation
of the Minister for Health and Human Services for terms
not exceeding three years.
