More than 40,000 health workers across Australia are being called back to work to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.
The register will run over a year, allowing registered doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists to return to work from April 6.

The Australian Health Practitioner Agency will alert those who are eligible.
