How can I support my employees to become registered?
There are a range of ways you can support your employees to become registered:
- Encourage and support registration by allowing employees to use work time to draft their registration applications and alert them to the information and resources available on the AHPA website.
- Include registration as a desirable key selection criterion in position descriptions.
- Incorporate a review of the achievement of core competencies into annual performance reviews, so employees recognise that the pursuit of registration is an integral part of their role.
- Where an employee does not meet the core competencies, provide professional development and on-the-job opportunities to facilitate competence.
- In some cases, an employee may not have the required amount of work experience to be able to apply. Provision of continuing employment where feasible will support future eligibility.
- Once registered, support the achievement of the 75 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) required over three years by providing aligned opportunities for learning and development.
- Support employees in identifying work examples for each of the core competencies, for example, through team brainstorming workshops.
How long does it take to complete a registration application?
To plan, write and submit a registration application takes approximately 8 hours.
What happens if some of my employees don't meet the registration requirements?
Employers can assist employees to meet the registration requirements:
- Incorporate a review of the achievement of core competencies into annual performance reviews, so employees recognise that the pursuit of registration is an integral part of their role.
- Where an employee does not meet the core competencies, provide professional development and on-the-job opportunities to facilitate competence.
- In some cases, an employee may not have the required amount of work experience to be able to apply. Provision of continuing employment where feasible will support future eligibility.
- Support employees in identifying work examples for each of the core competencies, for example, through team brainstorming workshops.
Can I support my employee to become registered by paying their administration, membership and/or registration fees?
An employer can pay the required registration-related fees on behalf of their employee. To be eligible to pay the $44 registration fee with an AHPA membership, employees are required to have an AHPA individual membership (registration cannot be facilitated via an AHPA corporate membership). Where there is more than one employee applying for registration, fees can be invoiced collectively if needed.
