Due to the COVID-19 emergency and the social isolation measures in force in all Australian states and territories and New Zealand, the ANZSI Accreditation scheme for members is temporarily suspended. In circumstances where essential journeys outside the home are to be limited to work, medical appointments, or food and pharmacy shopping, ANZSI Council does not consider the handling, distribution and re-distribution of publications for assessment to be essential activity. The Accreditation scheme will restart at an appropriate time later this year, and all members will be notified via email and/or the Newsletter. ANZSI members who wish to know more about the scheme in order to apply at a later date should consult the Accreditation page.
