Optometrists Association Australia Universal (entry‐level) and Therapeutic Competency Standards for Optometry 2008

Background:  Competency standards for entry‐level to the profession of optometry in Australia were first developed in 1993, revised in 1997 and expanded in 2000 to include therapeutic competency standards. The entry‐level standards cover the competencies required by a person entering the profession without therapeutic endorsement of their registration. The therapeutic competency standards address the additional competencies required for therapeutic endorsement of registration. This paper presents a revised version of the universal (entry‐level) and therapeutic competency standards for the profession of optometry in Australia in 2008.
