These details will not be published in any summary of the collated feedback from this consultation. |\n| Question A\u003Cbr>Are you completing this submission on behalf of an organisation or as an individual? |\n| Your answer:\u003Cbr>☒ Organisation\u003Cbr>Name of organisation: Australian Psychological Society\u003Cbr>Contact email: [z.burgess@psychology.org.au](z.burgess@psychology.org.au)[ ](z.burgess@psychology.org.au)☐ Myself\u003Cbr>Name: Click or tap here to enter text.\u003Cbr>Contact email: Click or tap here to enter text. |\n| Question B\u003Cbr>If you are completing this submission as an individual, are you:☐ A registered health practitioner?\u003Cbr>Profession: Click or tap here to enter text.☐ A member of the public?\u003Cbr>☐ Other: Click or tap here to enter text. |\n| Question C\u003Cbr>Would you like your submission to be published?\u003Cbr>☒ Yes, publish my submission with my name/organisation name ☐ Yes, publish my submission without my name/ organisation name ☐ No – do not publish my submission |\n\n\n| 1. Does any content need to be added to or amended in the draft guidance on developing professional capabilities? |\n| --- |\n| Based on our responses to the questions below , there may be some opportunities to amend content within the draft guidance on developing professional capabilities.\u003Cbr>In addition, the development of new or revised professional capabilities should include consideration of the impact(s) on currently practicing professionals and how they may need to prepare to ensure that they meet any additional requirements related to the new capabilities. Ensuring due consideration of the impact on practicing professionals is an essential component to the development of new capabilities. |\n\n\n| 2. Are there any implementation issues the Accreditation Committee should be aware of? |\n| --- |\n| It will be important for the Accreditation Committee to establish an appropriate process and outcome evaluation framework that can effectively monitor the impact of the guidance and make any necessary changes. Obtaining feedback from stakeholders , throughout the current consultation as well as early in the implementation phase, can provide useful data to better understand and identify potential barriersand unintended consequences of the draft guidance. The Accreditation Committee may consider developing supplementary or explanatory material to aid implementation and address any related concerns.\u003Cbr>The Accreditation Committee may also benefit from developing and implementing a communication strategy that will enable the appropriate information and documents to be disseminated to appropriate stakeholders. We also encourage the Committee to consider any potential legal and ethical considerations, particularly within the context of proceeding to develop shared professional capabilities across health professions. |\n\n\n| 3. Are there any potential unintended consequences of the draft guidance? |\n| --- |\n| The potential unintended consequences of the draft guidance may relate to our response to questions 2, 6 and 7. This is particularly relevant within the context of the guidance discussing shared professional capabilities. As per our responses below , the APS is not supportive of shared professional capabilities due to concerns regarding the risk of deprofessionalisation of the primary care sector via professional substitution and other potential ethical issues. |\n\n\n| 4. Do you have any general comments or feedback about the draft guidance on developing professional capabilities? |\n| --- |\n| Our comments and feedback about the draft guidance are reflected within our responses to the questions on this template. |\n\n\n| 5. Do you agree that the threshold capabilities required for registration should be owned and governed by Ahpra and the National Boards? Why or why not? |\n| --- |\n| The key role and function of the Psychology Board ","cbCaidhz120qaZno","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidhz120qaZno","pdf",230417,"English","# Initial questions\n## About the respondent\n# Consultation response questions\n## Content amendments to draft guidance\n## Implementation issues for the Accreditation Committee\n## Potential unintended consequences\n## General comments\n## Threshold capabilities governance\n## Shared professional capabilities across health professions\n## Capabilities that could be shared","[{\"question\":\"Can the submission be made on behalf of an organisation, and what details are collected?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
