Advanced scope of practice

Advanced scope of practice for speech pathologists represents

the full breadth, or depth of practice within a clinical practice area

or context. Advanced scope of practice requires a significant level

of experience, knowledge and technical skill within the defined

clinical area(s) and/or context(s). This may be demonstrated by

advanced depth or breadth of a clinical area and/or context.

Inherent, but maybe not explicit in this definition is a level of

clinical practice, experience and time associated between entry

level clinicians and those clinicians demonstrating advanced

scope of practice.

Extended scope of practice

Extended scope of practice describes undertaking clinical

activities not currently recognised as being performed by their

own discipline. This requires a clinician to undertake specific

additional training and be assessed as competent against a

recognised tool by an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Extended scope of practice will additionally require formal

workplace credentialing for the clinician to perform the specified

extended task/s to ensure adequate legal requirements and

professional indemnity requirements are maintained.

Membership feedback on draft

definitions

The next phase is to seek and collate feedback from the

membership regarding the draft working definitions and what

areas of clinical practice may be considered as “advanced” and/

or “extended” based on the draft definitions. Detailed background

information on these draft definitions can be found via the survey

link.

The draft definitions have been developed with acknowledgement

that areas defined as advanced and extended scope of practice

now may evolve to become part of entry-level competencies

and/or within the scope of practice for speech pathologists in

Australia.

Your feedback is vital to ensure the developed definitions will be

applicable to your workplace.

Please think broadly across all areas of the speech pathology

profession and click on the survey link to participate – your

contribution is invaluable.

Next steps:

Feedback will be collated and synthesised from:

the member survey;

State Branch meetings representatives;

identified content expert advisors; or,

any additional feedback received from members via

direct email.

The next project update is expected early in the new year, with a

final report provided to the Board in February 2018.

additional feedback please contact, Dr Robyn Saxon, Project
