The primary functions of the AHPCBD are to protect public interest through registration and issuance of practising certificates for registered Allied Health Professionals; to set standards for practice, conduct and training; as well as to maintain a register of Allied Health Professionals in Brunei Darussalam. All professionals listed above must register with the AHPCBD to continue or commence their practice in Brunei Darussalam.
