Accreditation
The aim of the accreditation process is to assess an optometry program against OCANZ Standards (see links to Standards below). A program’s accreditation status is subject to any conditions the program has on its accreditation status being appropriately completed, there being no major changes to the program and to the satisfactory submission of annual reports by the education provider.

Professional Standards

The requirements for practice are set out in professional competency standards, which are periodically reviewed. The OCANZ Board has commissioned a report on best practice in developing professional practice standards
