Professional Standards and Ethical Practice
Working with trauma, relationships, and families requires exceptional professionalism, empathy, and ethical responsibility.
Every registered professional commits to maintaining high standards of integrity, confidentiality, respect, compassion, professional competence, and client-centred practice. Registered professionals agree to work within their education, training, experience, and professional scope while recognising the importance of collaboration and referral whenever a client's needs extend beyond their competence.
The Board promotes trauma-informed practice, cultural sensitivity, safeguarding, informed consent, appropriate professional boundaries, and lifelong learning through Continuing Professional Development. These principles protect clients while strengthening the integrity and reputation of the profession.
