HPCSA establishes Inspectorate Office
The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), a statutory body committed to protecting the public and guiding the professions, has established an Inspectorate Office whose focus and primary role is to ensure that registered practitioners comply with the provisions of the Health Professions Act, 1974, as well as all rules and regulations governing their professions.

Over and above the overarching responsibility of ensuring compliance, the Inspectorate Office will also be responsible for the following duties:
- Conducting proactive inspections of premises to ensure compliance
- Assisting professional Boards with the inspections on clinical and professional compliance matters
- Ensuring compliance with penalties imposed by the Professional Conduct Committee
- Collect outstanding fines and attend to criminal matters in respect of unregistered practitioners.
The Inspectorate Office is operational at the Council's head office in Pretoria and is also establishing three regional offices in Durban, East London and Cape Town which are yet to be inaugurated.
