David Gardner editAbout David Gardner

David Gardner is a solicitor with a special interest in health regulation. He first commenced legal practice in commercial litigation, before starting work at AHPRA as an investigator. He has worked in a variety of roles, including as the Senior Inspector for criminal prosecutions in NSW and as a manager of large investigative teams in SA and VIC. Concerned by how practitioners were dealt with by AHPRA, David returned to private practice and in early 2019 opened his own practice, Gardner Legal & Regulatory. After six years in private practice, he wanted to find a way to proactively assist practitioners avoid complaints being made in the first place. David identified an absence of CPD online learning for health practitioners regarding regulatory compliance. As a result, he launched a new education portal for health practitioners, Australian Health Professional Development (AHPD) in October 2024.
