The supervised practice framework outlines the general requirements for supervisors. Supervisors must:
• have relevant experience (including their qualifications, responsibilities and relevant scope of practice)
• not be subject to supervised practice, conditions or undertakings that would affect their ability to supervise effectively.
For SIMGs who are on the Expedited Specialist pathway, the Board has also decided that supervisors must:
• be specialists who hold specialist registration in the same specialty field
• have practised in Australia for a minimum of 12 months full-time equivalent experience as a specialist with specialist registration, and
• can show they have the demonstrated skills and competency to supervise specialists on this pathway.
