MEDICAL COUNCIL

We are committed to research and evaluation to improve our work and our evidence base. We undertake and commission research activities and continually evaluate our activities against measurable outcomes... We may collaborate with other organisations and may provide financial or other support for a research project that promotes our objectives and is consistent with our research priorities... We protect the public by managing complaints about medical practitioners in New South Wales. Established under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (NSW), we are one of 15 NSW councils that focus on individual health professions. The Medical Council works with the Health Care Complaints Commission in a partnership called co-regulation. Together, we receive and manage complaints about medical practitioners. The Council also delivers other programs to ensure doctors provide safe care to their patients.
