Link to the regulatory board and the "rules". www.ahpra.gov.au/News/2020-04-02-Third-statement-from-National-Boards-and-Ahpra.aspxJust the 3 key points but then there's this little gem - Offer of rewards Under the National Law, offers of gifts, discounts or other inducements are permitted in advertising of regulated health services so long as the terms and conditions of the offer are stated. The TGA’s guidance explains that the offer of certain rewards to people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 is now permitted under therapeutic goods regulations provided the offer complies with certain conditions (such as not offering alcohol, tobacco or registered medicines). While offers of a reward for being fully vaccinated are most likely to be provided by businesses who are not providing health services, it is possible that healthcare professionals such as GPs or pharmacists may also offer a reward. Advertising that seeks to attract a person to a specific regulated health service provider for the purpose of COVID-19 vaccination must comply with both the TGA’s guidance and advertising requirements of the National Law.3 Importantly, the TGA’s guidance on promotion of COVID-19 vaccines does NOT change responsibilities that health practitioners and other advertisers have under the National Law when advertising a regulated health service. Both sets of regulations and guidance operate in parallel, including the requirements under section 133(1) of the National Law about the advertising of regulated health services. In particular, the prohibition on advertising that is false, misleading or deceptive continues to apply.4 Additionally, where the offer of a reward for being fully vaccinated involves advertising a regulated health service, the advertisement must comply with both the TGA’s guidance and the advertising requirements of the National Law, including stating the terms and conditions of the offer. Which only goes against the multi-decade codes of conduct. More people on my list for the gallows.
