"The development of this code has been a joint project of the Australian Medical Council, Medical Board of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales Medical Board, Medical Board of the Northern Territory, Medical Board of Queensland, Medical Board of South Australia, Medical Council of Tasmania, Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria and Medical Board of Western Australia. The Australian Medical Council acknowledges support from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, which enabled public consultation on an earlier draft of this code of conduct for doctors. This code is presented for endorsement by medical boards and the Australian Medical Council." |
