Healthcare providers encompass all persons and organisations engaged in the provision of medical, clinical, mental health, or allied health services. This includes registered medical practitioners, nurses, allied health professionals, psychologists, and the practices or organisations through which they provide services. In Australian insurance, healthcare providers must hold appropriate professional indemnity insurance as mandated by AHPRA for registered practitioners. The definition extends beyond individual practitioners to include corporate entities operating healthcare facilities, clinics, and digital health platforms. Insurance requirements vary based on the scope of services, with policies addressing civil liability for negligence, regulatory investigations, and statutory liability for breaches of healthcare-related legislation.
