Past Accreditation Consultations

Public consultation – Updated accreditation standards for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practice, Chinese medicine, medical radiation practice and podiatry

In 2025, the accreditation committee for medical radiation practice invited feedback on its draft updated accreditation standards.

Accreditation standards are used to assess whether a program of study provides graduates with the knowledge, skills and professional attributes required to practise the profession safely and effectively in Australia.

The purpose of this review was to update existing standards to reduce duplication, improve consistency across the four professions, and ensure alignment with the priorities of the National Scheme.

The consultation period was open from 30 April 2025 to 25 June 2025.

A summary report outlining the feedback received during the public consultation and stakeholder submissions will be published in due course. Please check this page for updates.


Public consultation on Framework for accreditation requirements for the safe and effective use of medicines

The Medical Radiation Practice Accreditation Committee is a member of the Health Professions Accreditation Collaborative Forum (Forum).

The Forum undertook a project to ensure all graduates of entry-level health practitioner programs are educated to a foundational level in the safe and effective use of medicines, as appropriate to their scope of practice. To achieve this aim, the Forum developed a framework for accreditation requirements for the safe and effective use of medicines, which was proposed for adoption across the professions.
