Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 1.03: Delegations: operate an authorisation process that delegates responsibility for aspects of the practice only to workforce members with the qualifications and skills for the task who work within their scope of practice

What does 1.03 require?

Handing responsibility down the line is done through a formal authorisation step, not by custom. Each delegation goes only to someone whose qualifications and skills fit the task and who stays inside their scope of practice, and the grant is recorded so that an assessor can trace any delegated function back to the person accountable for it.
