Call for applications: Appointment to the list of approved accreditation assessors for the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Accreditation Committee

The National Registration and Accreditation Scheme (the National Scheme) regulates more than 960,000 registered health practitioners and over 180,000 registered students across 16 health professions. 

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Accreditation Committee (the Accreditation Committee) is seeking applications from registered Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health practitioners to be included on a list of approved accreditation assessors who may be appointed to accreditation assessment teams.

The Accreditation Committee establishes accreditation assessment teams to assess education providers and their programs of study against the accreditation standards.

Assessment Teams will generally be composed so that the combination of assessors provides coverage of the following areas:

• current registration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia
• sound knowledge of the education system and experience in teaching and learning, and
• sound knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice.

Interstate travel may be required to participate in site visits or monitoring visits from time to time.

We are committed to providing an environment that embraces and values equity, diversity and inclusion. We strongly encourage people of all abilities and backgrounds to apply, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, culturally diverse people, people with a disability, carers of a person with a disability, people living in rural or remote areas of Australia and people who identify as LGBTIQA+. If you need an adjustment or support during the recruitment process, we encourage you to advise us at the time of application.

Applications will be assessed by a selection advisory panel and the appointments will be made by the Accreditation Committee.

More information about the role, eligibility requirements and the application process can be found in the Information guide.
