The ACPSEM Radiation Oncology Medical Physics Workforce Modelling Project was initiated in October 2020 to look at practices in Australia and New Zealand and to develop a workforce model. The two major outcomes of the project were launched in November of 2021: a snapshot of the ROMP workforce and an activity-based workforce calculator for use at departmental and higher levels.
These standards were developed by the Radiation Oncology Alliance (ROA), formerly known as the Tripartite. The ROA is a peak body comprising members from The Faculty of Radiation Oncology, RANZCR; the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT); Cancer Nurses Society of Australia (CSNA) and ACPSEM. The standards are intended to guide multi-disciplinary delivery of clinical services in radiation oncology and are designed to be applied throughout Australia and New Zealand (different versions have been published to take into account local legislation, regulations and rulings).
The ACPSEM strongly supports and encourages the adoption and implementation of the standards.
