Health Report · Is AHPRA doing enough to curb unsafe prescribing? · 18 Sep 2026 podcast
She was able to attain a GLP-1 with a history like that, which can be really, really problematic. matched
And we did go into regulation of telehealth industries. matched
And we did ask the regulator, ARPRA, to come on at the time. matched
They didn't. matched
They declined but gave us a statement instead. matched
Well, today we are going to follow this story up with the CEO of the regulator. matched
But first, here's a reminder of Kate's story. matched
So earlier today, I spoke with the Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, ARPRA, Justin Untersteiner. matched
Thanks matched
having me. matched
We did a story several weeks ago on the very easy access of GLP-1 medications from these telehealth clinics, particularly for people with eating disorders. matched
And our inbox was flooded with people reaching out and saying that they'd tried to report either a clinic or a practitioner and their experiences or difficulties in actually doing that. matched
One of the people who reached out to us is Rachel. matched
I should add for context that Rachel received an acknowledgement of receipt, Justin, in June 2025, but has heard nothing since then, had no formal interaction with ARPRA since then. matched
Is Rachel's experience a unique one or is this something that ARPRA is seeing a lot of in terms of complaints in this area? matched
But Justin, there are a lot of people who reached out to us and said, and Rachel's story is just one of them, but many people saying, I've reported this, nothing has happened, nothing has changed. matched
I'm still being bombarded by advertisements from these telehealth clinics. matched
It's still very easy access. matched
You know, people kind of go, what's the point in reporting because nothing happens? matched
They feel like the regulator doesn't actually do anything. matched
