About the AHPC

 

We are the Allied Health Professionals Council of Mauritius.  We are a regulator of health professionals and our job is to protect the health and wellbeing of people who use the services of the health professionals registered with us.

To protect the public, we set standards that health professionals must meet.  Our standards cover health professionals’ education and training, behavior, professional skills and their health.  We publish a register of health professionals who meet our standards.

We currently regulate 18 professions:

 

Audiologist	Orthopaedic Technician
Chiropractor	Osteopath
Clinical Scientists	Physiotherapist
Counselor	Podiatrist/Chiropodist
Dietitian	Psychologist
Medical Imaging Technologist	Psychomotor Therapist
Medical Laboratory Technologist	Psychotherapist

How we are run

 

We are governed by the Allied Health Professionals Council Act 2017.  This lays out our responsibilities and it gives us our legal authority to carry out these.  At present, the 18 professions that we regulate have been divided into six clusters.

The Council consists of:

• One allied health professional from each cluster
• A representative of the Ministry
• A representative of the Prime Minister’s office
• A representative of the Attorney- General’s office
• A representative of the Ministry responsible for the subject of education
• Two persons who are not allied health professionals

This council sets our strategy and policy and makes sure we are fulfilling our duties under the Allied Health Professionals council Act 2017
