Internationally, credentialing has been described as a central function of the regulatory system requiring “licensure, certification or authorisation by a national governmental agency”. It is a term applied to “processes used to designate that an individual, programme, institution or product have met established standards,” as set by a national body. In the Australian context, this is achieved through statutory regulation in the form of profession-specific registration.
