National Code of Conduct for Healthcare Workers

Reiki Australia has now introduced a non-accredited certificate course in professional development for healthcare and wellness workers; this training was developed to ensure client safety and to give practitioners an opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and a deeper understanding of their professional responsibilities as described in the National Code of Conduct for Healthcare Workers (referred to as the National Code). Throughout Australia, the National Code is embedded in legislation and everyone who offers a health and wellness service is legally required to comply.

Many practitioners who have gained nationally accredited qualifications in the areas of Complementary Health, Counselling and Community Services will have received training to enable them to comply with the National Code, however there are a myriad of specialised training courses whose focus is on personal development, spirituality, lifestyle, Reiki and many other healing modalities that do not include training in the skills and knowledge required, to comply with the National Code.

The course: ‘Professional Development for Healthcare Workers’ fills this gap.

The knowledge and skills gained through this course will not only help practitioners to address the required essential knowledge and skills, it will also help to ensure that practitioners gain a clear understanding and appreciation of the ‘Codes’, it will provide practical guidance on how to comply with the National Code of Conduct for Healthcare Workers.
