Australasian Sonographer Accreditation Registry

Welcome, this site sets out the accreditation mechanisms of ASAR.

ASAR is an ISO 9001 Certified organisation.

The ASAR was established on 22 October 1994 following a recommendation of the now disbanded Ultrasonographers’ Qualification Accreditation Working Party of the Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine. ASAR’s brief is to accredit and re-accredit on a regular basis, ultrasound programs offered by various institutions, and to establish the criteria against which those programs and any other future Australian and New Zealand programs are to be judged. In addition a register of accredited and student sonographers is maintained and their continuing professional development (CPD) activities monitored and recorded.

• It aims to provide support information to sonographers who wish to apply for accreditation and who also want to embrace their profession with a commitment to continued professional development.
  
  
• It is also intended to inform the wider community e.g. doctors, universities and professional bodies.
  
  
• The Registry invites careful perusal of the site before submission of applications for accreditation.
  
  
• Any queries about the Australasian Sonographer Accreditation Registry should be directed in writing or e-mailed to the Secretary.
