Approval of registration standards
12 Approval of registration standards
The
Ministerial Council may approve a registration standard about—
the registration, or renewal of registration, of persons in a health profession; or
the endorsement, or renewal of the endorsement, of the registration of registered health practitioners.
The
Ministerial Council may approve a registration standard for a health profession only if—
its approval is recommended by the National Board established for the health profession; and
it does not provide for a matter about which an accreditation standard may provide.
Note—
An accreditation standard for a health profession is a standard used to assess whether a program of study, and the education provider that provides the program, provide persons who complete the program with the knowledge, skills and professional attributes to practise the profession in Australia. Accreditation standards are developed and approved under Division 3 of Part 6.
The
Ministerial Council may, at any time, ask a National Board to review an approved or proposed registration standard for the health profession for which the National Board is established.
The
Ministerial Council may delegate any of the Council's powers under subsection (1) to an entity it considers appropriate to exercise the power.
