Automatic
Mutual
Recognition
A proposed national scheme for automatic
mutual recognition (AMR) of occupational
registrations was agreed to by federal and
state and territory governments in August
2020. The agreement was endorsed at the
National Cabinet in December 2020 with all
jurisdictions signing an Intergovernmental
Agreement.
Draft legislation was released by the
Commonwealth in December 2020. Key elements
of the Bill include:
Introduce a concept of home state, taken to
be a person’s primary place of residence or
their primary place of work.
Create a new Part 3A to establish a second
mutual recognition principle to allow persons
registered for an occupation in their home
state to carry out those authorised activities
in a second state using their home state
registration without notification or payment of
fees.
