Talk:Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria

Change lead, in order to start with and bold old Board
Maybe:

The Medical Practitioners Board of Victoria was previously the body that regulated the medical profession within Victoria. Since 2010, its functions have been performed by its successor body, the Victorian Board of the Medical Board of Australia which has powers delegated to it for exercise within Victoria by the Medical Board of Australia, the national body that regulates the medical profession in Australia. The operations of the Board are enabled by the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (Vic) Act 2009, which also governs authorities for other health professions in Victoria. This Act replaced the Health Professions Registration Act 2005, under which the forerunner Board operated until 1 July 2007, and which was the successor to the Medical Practice Act 1994. The Victorian Board's delegated powers allow it to make individual practitioner registration and notification (complaints) decisions within the state, based on the national policies and standards set by the National Board. [use edit summary: copy edit to make sure defunct board - which is nominally subject of article atm - is included as first element and bolded. This page should probably be moved, though, to: "Medical Board of Australia", with "State" sections] would be better, in the interim.49.177.30.125 (talk) 04:53, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
