Accreditation process
All medical practitioners and allied health professionals must be accredited and hold clinical privileges in order to admit patients or consult at St John of God Frankston Rehabilitation Hospital.
All applications for clinical admitting rights are reviewed by our Credentialing Committee and final approval is granted via our Medical Advisory Committee who make recommendations to the Chief Executive Officer/Director of Nursing (CEO/DON).
You must provide evidence of professional indemnity and medical registration as a part of our initial and ongoing accreditation process.
You may then receive interim approval for temporary privileges by the CEO/DON until the next meeting of the Credentials Committee, which formally considers and approves or rejects applications. This process is in line with the governance of our medical by-laws.
We will notify you of the outcome of your application, including any approval or accreditation granted.
For further information about the accreditation process, please contact our Chief Executive Officer or Director of Nursing:
