Practice documents play an important role in
supporting members’ capacity to translate the
evidence into practice. Practice documents
include clinical guidelines, position statements
and core documents (i.e., Code of Ethics).
Speech Pathology Australia is aiming to
improve the practice document processes
to ensure documents are developed based
on best practice models and are of sufficient
quality to be considered (where appropriate)
for the Australian Clinical Practice Guideline
Portal.
To achieve this, Speech Pathology Australia
is seeking a person to develop and implement
policy and procedures on practice document
development based on best practice, to make
recommendations regarding the development
of future practice documents, and to utilise
their skills and experiences in evaluation of
the literature and publications to support the
development of practice documents.
This position is part-time up to 10 hours a
week (or as negotiated) for a fixed term up to
twelve months with the possibility of extension
subject to Board approval. Ideally located in
Melbourne or able to have regular contact with
