Please refer to the ANZCAP Specialty Area of Practice Glossary for definitions of these areas of specialty practice.
The specialty areas of practice will be reviewed regularly. If you can’t find the area you wish to attribute to your portfolio, consider your current role and what it involves – are there specialty areas that are listed that could fit what you do? Are you a generalist rather than practising in one specific area?
Please email anzcap@shpa.org.au if you would like us to consider adding a particular specialty in the future.
