Summary
Registered podiatrists are seeking rights to prescribe a limited range of medications relevant to their practice of podiatry.

In accordance with the Medicines Act, the Minister of Health is required to consult with relevant organisations when considering additional prescribers.

This discussion paper, on the Podiatrists Board’s application, invites submissions on any issues concerning prescribing by podiatrists.
