This Act sets up the Health Care Complaints Commission and says what a complaint can be about, who can make one and how it is made. It covers both registered and non-registered health practitioners, so a complaint about a registered nurse and one about an unregistered injector go to the same Commission. It also gives the Commission the power to make prohibition orders against non-registered practitioners who breach the code of conduct. It is the NSW counterpart of the Health Ombudsman Act 2013 (Qld).
