A clearer standard for naturopathic care
When you choose a practitioner, there should be a clear way to understand who they are, the education behind their practice and the professional requirements they are expected to meet.
ARONAH brings these elements together through practitioner registration, education accreditation, competency and practice standards, a public register and a pathway for concerns.
How We Support the Public
From education to accountability
Public protection begins before a practitioner enters practice and continues through the standards expected throughout their professional work.
Education
ARONAH sets accreditation standards for professional education and assesses programs against defined requirements.
Registration
Practitioners must satisfy ARONAH’s registration requirements before they can be entered on the national register.
Professional practice
Registered practitioners are expected to meet competency, conduct and ongoing professional practice requirements.
Accountability
The public can check registration and raise concerns about the care or conduct of an ARONAH-registered practitioner.
Your Care
What this means for you
The public register gives you a clear way to check whether someone currently holds ARONAH registration.
Registered practitioners are expected to practise safely, professionally and within established requirements for conduct and competency.
Privacy, informed consent, dignity and your right to make decisions about your care form part of professional practice.
ARONAH provides a way to raise concerns about registered practitioners and can help identify other relevant complaints pathways where appropriate.
