Applying for accreditation

Seeking accreditation of a program of study

If you are an education provider and wish to apply for an accreditation assessment of your program of study, please contact the Program Accreditation Team to receive an application form and to arrange a due date for submission of your application.

Accreditation guidance material

All education providers wishing to seek accreditation of medical radiation practice programs of study will be assessed against the Accreditation standards for medical radiation practice and the professional capabilities for medical radiation practice.

The Accreditation standards provide guidance on the information to be presented by education providers seeking accreditation of a medical radiation practice program. This includes:

• guidance on the presentation of information
• explanatory notes for each standard, to help common understandings between accreditation assessment teams and education providers about the Accreditation Committee’s requirements
• a glossary of key terms used, and
• a list of acronyms.

Accreditation process

The Accreditation Committee’s process for accreditation assessments is outlined in the Guidelines for accreditation of education and training programs (the Guidelines).

When preparing an accreditation application, education providers should read the Guidelines alongside the Accreditation standards for medical radiation practice and the professional capabilities for medical radiation practice.
