Authorised Health Professional (AHP) Training


The National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers provides guidance for Rail Transport Operators to meet their legislative obligations in managing the risks posed by the ill-health of rail safety workers. The guidance includes the selection and management of health professionals who carry out health assessments on behalf of those operators. These professionals are referred to as Authorised Health Professionals (AHPs).


Rail Industry Safety and Standards Board (RISSB) work with Chief Medical Officers to develop and maintain a set of training materials. The ARA captures the details of trained AHP's within the AHP Program. The training program is considered best practice by the consulted Chief Medical Officers.


Training to the National Standard for Category 1, 2 and 3 Rail Medicals is run periodically across Australia. Please contact the relevant Chief Medical Officer in your jurisdiction to find out more.
