Professional capabilities for medical radiation practitioners

The Professional capabilities for medical radiation practitioners (the Professional capabilities) recognise the various roles that a registered medical radiation practitioner undertakes in practice, including the professional and ethical role, the partner in care, the communicator and collaborator, the learner and educator, the safety and quality manager, and the leader and steward.

The Professional capabilities represent a holistic view of practice. Good professional practice is more than the sum of each enabling component, it requires the ability to integrate the breadth of domains and capabilities to support overall performance.

These updated Professional capabilities come into effect on 30 March 2026
