Education
Relevant learning outcomes, level, content, assessment and any required supervised practice are examined.
Professional recognition
Competence recognised within a defined scope
The professional recognition framework connects education, experience, ethical conduct and continuing competence with clear designations and public accountability.
Recognition framework
Assessment reflects the designation sought
Experience
The nature, responsibility, recency and relevance of professional work are considered against the route requirements.
Competence
Applicants demonstrate the knowledge, judgement, communication and professional capabilities defined for the designation.
Conduct
Declaration, references and suitability review support confidence in ethical and professional standing.
Continuing status
Recognition must be maintained
- 01
Annual declaration
Registered professionals confirm current information, practice scope, continuing compliance and material changes.
- 02
Continuing development
Learning and reflective practice are maintained in proportion to role, responsibility and professional needs.
- 03
Periodic review
Selected records or registrants may be reviewed to confirm compliance and continuing competence.
- 04
Public status
Where published, the register identifies the authorised designation, status and any material limitation.
Interpretation
A designation must not be overstated
Professional recognition is limited to the designation, status and scope identified by the Association. It does not create a statutory licence, override jurisdictional restrictions or authorise practice outside an individual’s competence.
Employers, clients and the public should verify current status through the Association’s authoritative register and consider the professional’s specific qualifications, experience and legal scope of practice.
