A special register of thousands of retired doctors has wound up, one year after it opened to bolster the medical workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Some 4,800 doctors who had dropped off AHPRA’s register in the previous three years were automatically reregistered last April, unless they were under investigation or had conditions on their registration when it lapsed.
