Accreditation Authorities recommend accreditation standards to National Boards for approval.
Accreditation Authorities also assess programs of study and education providers to determine whether accreditation standards are being met.
Accreditation standards help to ensure that education providers and programs of study provide students with the knowledge, skills and professional attributes to practise the profession in Australia.
