Ahpra executive moves

31 Jul 2025

Two long-standing Executive Directors depart

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) will bid farewell to Kym Ayscough, Executive Director Regulatory Operations and Chris Robertson, Executive Director Strategy, Policy and Health Workforce in late August/early September.

Both Kym and Chris have played an instrumental role in standing up the National Scheme, shaping the culture and contributing to the success of Ahpra over the past 15-plus years. Their focus on positive health outcomes for the community and a commitment to reforming and continuously improving the regulatory frameworks that underpin our national health system has helped establish the strong foundations on which we stand today.

Ahpra acknowledges the valuable contributions of both Executive members. They depart the organisation with our respect, appreciation and best wishes for future endeavours.
