Independent by design
ARONAH is a regulatory body, not a professional association.
Professional associations represent practitioners, advocate for their members and contribute professional expertise. Independent regulation has a different purpose.
ARONAH maintains registration, standards and accreditation at arm’s length from professional representation, with public protection at the centre of its work.
Professional associations represent the profession. ARONAH regulates in the public interest.
