CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: Provision of supervision following a breach of Code of Ethics

The Speech Pathology Australia Ethics Board investigates formal complaints regarding a member’s professional conduct. Following a finding of a breach of the Code of Ethics , the Ethics Board may recommend that a member must undertake professional supervision to address the areas found in breach. Professional supervision is an important element of clinical governance and professional support for speech pathologists. It provides a structured process to support reflection, learning and wellbeing, enabling effective practice within scope of practice. Supervision following a Breach of the Code of Ethics provides assurance from an independent source that the actions that resulted in the breach have been considered, to assist in development of awareness, understanding and demonstration of appropriate

professional conduct. Supervisors are matched to the supervisee according to specific criteria such as the nature of the breach or a particular area of clinical practice. Speech Pathology Australia is calling for written nominations from experienced supervisors interested in providing supervision to members for this purpose. Members can self-nominate. Nominations must be in writing and address eligibility criteria. Please contact Trish Johnson, Manager Ethics and Professional issues on tjohnson@ speechpathologyaustralia.org.au for any questions about this role and for a copy of the eligibility criteria.
