Registration

The new  Regulatory Code July-2009

What happens with the new Registration process?
This is done by way of an on line assessment process. Firstly, providers will be scheduled for Registration and asked to complete a Request to Register form by the Office of the Registrar. This form asks providers to provide details of their operations. These details will form the basis of an initial assessment to identify which of the four classifications the provider will be registered under.

The assessment is a “self assessment“ entered into a database and is validated through information or evidence gathering from your organisation.

NOTE: Not all class types of providers are required to meet every requirement.
