Welcome to the Medical Radiation Practitioners Board (MRPB) of Victoria

IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ

Please note that as the Medical Radiation Practitioners Board of Victoria (MRPBV) will cease to exist on 30 June 2012 and the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia (MRPBA) will come into operation on 1 July 2012 - the MRPB will not be processing any applications for registration after 1 June 2012. Any applications received after this date will be considered by the MRPBA.

The Medical Radiation Practitioners Board of Victoria has been set up to protect the public by registering medical radiation practitioners and by investigating their professional conduct, professional ability or ability to practice. Medical Radiation Practitioners include: radiographers, radiation therapists and nuclear medicine technologists.

The Health Professions Registration Act 2005 ("the Act") was implemented on 1 July 2007. As a result, the new Medical Radiation Practitioners Board of Victoria was established, replacing the Medical Radiation Technologists Board.

The main purpose of the new Act is to protect the public by providing for the registration of health practitioners and a common system of investigations into the professional conduct, professional performance and ability to practice, of registered health practitioners.
