The vision of the Australian OHS Education Accreditation Board is that OHS professional education in Australia is based on strong scientific and technical concepts, is evidenced-informed and delivered by persons suitably competent in their field and so recognised by the profession, government, industry and the community.
To achieve this vision the Australian OHS Education Accreditation Board accredits OHS professional education programs that meet the accreditation criteria and holders of accredited qualifications are then deemed to meet the knowledge requirement for certification as generalist OHS professionals.
Accreditation provides guidance for potential students in selecting a university and an OHS program; it provides information for employers who may be requiring current OHS advisors to take on further qualifications; and it may inform recruiters and employers in their selection processes.
