Regulation: the OMAA Quality Framework
The Orientation and Mobility Association Australasia Inc. (A0039419Z) is incorporated under Consumer Affairs Victoria and managed by an Executive committee which meets monthly, supported by four subcommittees:
- Professional Standards Committee
- Professional Development Committee
- Communications Committee
- Membership Engagement Committee
The Professional Standards Committee establishes and maintains the OMAA Quality Framework on behalf of the OMAA Executive. This framework guides and regulates the OMAA, documenting standards for O&M qualifications, certification and registration; ethical professional practice; professional development; and managing feedback and complaints.
The OMAA works diligently to provide accessible information in all documentation. If you find information on our website that you are unable to access, please contact the OMAA via standards@omaaustralasia.com and we will assist you.
The Quality Framework includes the following documents:
COMS Handbook for international certification of O&M Specialists
Professional Development – COMS points
Standards of Exemplary Practice
