To meet the standards stipulated in SPA’s Code of Ethics (2010) your advertising must:

• be truthful

• be accurate

• be based on evidence

• not misrepresent the profession

• contain the accurate wording and/or post-nominal for your SPA membership and CPSP status (where applicable)

• contain the approved SPA Member logo (which the member has obtained from SPA) (where applicable)

• contain the accurate post-nominals and use the accepted style by the university from which you gained your qualification (where applicable)

SPA members who employ speech pathology staff must ensure that they are not prevented from complying with their obligations.
