14/12/2012 FCMA Submission for the Infection Control Guidelines for acupuncture practice in Australia
FCMA believes it is critical to develop uniform specific guidelines for acupuncture practice across all States and Territories, under the guidance of the Australian Guidelines to fulfil the registered or endorsed acupuncturists’ obligations to protect the safety of the public. The guidelines proposed by the Board do not achieve this, particularly when the existing State or Territory requirements for acupuncturists could override the guidelines approved by the Board. The specific guidelines should be feasible and accessible to all practitioners.
