Becoming an accredited medical sonographer in Australia involves several steps, including education, practical training, and certification.
Entry Requirements and Education::
Aspiring sonographers need to complete a relevant bachelor’s degree, typically in Health Science, such as medical radiation technology or nuclear medicine technology. After obtaining their bachelor’s degree, they must successfully complete an accredited postgraduate qualification in medical ultrasound, such as a Graduate Diploma in Medical Ultrasound from a recognised institution. These programs usually encompass academic coursework, which can be completed online or on campus, alongside a practical training component designed to provide hands-on ultrasound scanning experience
Clinical Placements::
During the postgraduate program, students must secure a clinical training placement to engage in supervised clinical practice. It is the responsibility of the student to find their own clinical placement. Typically, this is a paid training position that requires a minimum of three days per week of clinical practice over a period of two years. This hands-on experience, under the supervision of experienced sonographers, is crucial for developing the necessary skills and competence in ultrasound scanning.
Accreditation with ASAR::
To practice as a medical sonographer in Australia, you must register with the Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry (ASAR). To attain ASAR accreditation, students must provide evidence of their scanning experience, which involves meeting specific educational and clinical experience requirements.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)::
Once accredited, you must maintain your accreditation through ongoing CPD activities. This ensures you stay up-to-date with the latest advancements and best practices in the field.
It doesn‘t matter whether you’ve been scanning for years or have never picked a probe up before, if it’s a yes to any of the above criteria and you’re ready to take your diagnostic and procedural skills to the next level, then you’re welcome to join us.

If you’re attending to meet the requirements of your own local health authority – and attending a course is all that’s required – then the answer may be yes.
If you’re attending to meet the requirements of your own local health authority and they require validation of your skills via an external/third party credentialing provider – such as the POCUS Certification Academy or ASUM – then no.
If it’s all too confusing and causing you a headache we can help you navigate the credentialing quagmire – please get in touch.
Yes there is – but it’s not too onerous. We recommend you at least revise your physics by watching the short videos before you arrive – the other material you can review as you go, or afterwards.

Concise, informative and like the amount of hands-on opportunities provided.

I find many CPD activities I just do for the CPD points and they don't really actually make any difference to my practice. I think this course has made a huge difference to my confidence. I should have done the course 3 years ago! Know exactly what the screen is showing you BEFORE I put the needle in!

Very much appreciated the comprehensive & anatomical approach that Myra taught. Feel much more confident & capable to do a useful variety of blocks.

Very relevant information in the perfect amount of depth. All in line with the current teaching that I have been getting elsewhere. All topics were extremely relevant to my current job and future aspirations. Amazing facilitators!! Some of the best teachers ive had in a very long time. So approachable yet insanely knowledgeable. I felt like I could ask anything and they would have a solution. I think starting from the absolute basics at the start really gave a fantastic foundation but also allowed me to feel safe in my limited prior knowledge and with asking questions.
