NASRHP Self-Regulating Health Profession Certifying Entity Membership Standards (Australia) S1: Standard 1: Publish a scope of practice and reference it in the code of conduct and professional standards

To join, a certifying entity must provide a scope of practice document and refer to scope of practice in the profession's code of conduct and in its professional standards. If it has no separate scope document, the references in the code and the professional standards stand as the evidence. The scope covers any role in which a practitioner uses their professional skills (paid or unpaid, clinical or not, including management, education, research and policy), the entity should say how it helps practitioners work to their full scope safely, and it may define advanced and extended scopes. Professional standards underpin scope and should be public.
