THE LIST OF AUSTRALIAN RECOGNISED MEDICAL SPECIALTIES

The List of Australian Recognised Medical Specialties includes thoseorganisations, specialties and qualifications that are recognised asmedical specialties in Australia, as approved by the Minister for Healthand Ageing.

The List follows the format of Schedule 4 of the Health InsuranceRegulations 1975, which is the other list that contains the recognised

specialties approved by the Minister. Unlike Schedule 4, listing on theList of Australian Recognised Medical Specialties does not, however,relate to the Health Insurance Act.
