Scope of Practice

As part of your appointment to practice, each doctor must specify the area of clinical practice in which they wish to be accredited, which is referred to as their clinical scope of practice.

At Epworth HealthCare your scope of practice will depend on which Tier A - C you are appointed under.

Tier A  Tier A scope of practice refers to basic accreditation for a given specialty, i.e. the applicant has satisfied the appropriate Fellowship requirements of the relevant medical college.
Tier B Tier B scope of practice applies to a selected range of advanced or emerging interventions, or sub-specialty training for which additional evidence is required. To satisfy Tier B medical accreditation requirements, an applicant needs to provide suitable evidence that they have acquired the appropriate advanced skills and undergone relevant training needed to undertake the restricted procedures.
The evidence could include references, logbooks, completed proctorships, training certificates and some fellowships.
Tier C Tier C scope of practice is for New Interventional Technology/Clinical Practice (NiTCP) which is a therapeutic intervention (including prosthesis, implantable device, medical or surgical procedure), a diagnostic procedure or other clinical practice that is considered by a reasonable body of medical opinion to be significantly different from existing procedures or clinical practice. Applicants seeking Tier C privileges must complete New Interventional Technology / Clinical Practice (NiTCP) forms, which are available via the Epworth intranet, or can be obtained via the Senior Medical Workforce Team at [email protected]. The Medical Administration Registrar coordinates all NiTCP applications.

If you wish to introduce new procedures or clinical practices (or significant revisions of existing procedures and practices) you must provide additional specified information before you can become accredited to perform them. 

If you wish to practice under a scope that you have not been accredited for or to introduce a new procedure or clinical practice (or a significant revision of an existing procedure or clinical practice) you must discuss this with your medical director and formally apply. 

If you wish to review/check the scope of practice you are accredited for, please contact our accreditation team.

If you would like to know more about the Epworth HealthCare Medical Scope of Practice tier system, please refer to the Epworth By-laws or contact the Senior Medical Workforce Team on [email protected] or (03) 9426 6956.
