Emergency and Health Service Managers are guided by specific legislation to enable the safe delivery of care. Students need to demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and compliance with Australian Law, professional regulations and scope of practice.

Students must be able to know, understand, and comply with legislative and regulatory requirements of their roles in hospitals and health settings. 

Anyone can make a complaint about a registered health practitioner’s health, performance or conduct through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency (Ahpra). Compliance with these professional regulations and the Australian Law ensures that students are both responsible and accountable for conduct while practising their profession as well as in their personal time.

Reasonable adjustments

Reasonable adjustments for a student’s individual needs may be considered, provided that they are consistent with legislative and regulatory requirements. Reasonable adjustments will typically be determined as an outcome of the registration process with CQUniversity Inclusion and Accessibility Services.
