Re-entry program
The purpose of the Re-entry program is to support speech pathologists who have had a break from speech pathology practice to refresh their knowledge and skills and support them to confidently return to practice.
The program involves engagement in continuing professional development with a required minimum 100 hours of learning. Participants develop a learning plan and portfolio of evidence to demonstrate entry level competence against the Competency Based Occupational Standards (CBOS). The program must be completed within 3 years. Participants have 3 opportunities to submit their portfolio. Members with less than 5 years equivalent full-time practice within the previous 15 years must also participate in a supported clinical experience to demonstrate entry level competence in at least 1 range of practice area.
Completion of the Re-entry requirements allows members to demonstrate they can uphold the standards of the speech pathology profession in Australia and provide safe, best practice services that meet the needs of service users.
