National medical laboratory workforce certification scheme 

In July 2020 a new national certification scheme for the medical laboratory workforce was launched by the Board of the Australian Council for the Certification of the Medical Scientific Laboratory Workforce (ACCMLSW). More than 260 scientists and technicians have already obtained certification and are listed athttps://accmlsw.wildapricot.org/register

  • Public recognition of scientific qualifications.
  • Acknowledgement of participation in continuing professional development (CPD) and education.
  • Increased professional credibility and prestige of scientists and technicians in the industry.
  • Potential to provide further educational and CPD opportunities for scientists and technicians.
