News and publications
Scheme notifications
We publish a notification of a scheme whenever an association applies for a new Professional Standards Scheme, or asks to amend its existing one. This would also occur in the unusual event that revocation of a scheme is proposed.
Members of the public then have up to four weeks to submit comments to the Professional Standards Councils. Any comments received are considered by the Councils before they decide whether to approve, amend, or revoke the scheme.
Current public notifications
There are no current public notifications.

The following notifications are no longer open for comment. The notifications are listed here for reference only. Please note that the final scheme instrument approved by the Council(s) and published in the Government Gazette by the Minister(s) may not be identical to the scheme that was publicly notified and listed on this page.
