Training accreditation ensures that clinical education in perfusion across Australia and New Zealand is conducted to a high, consistent standard. It enables the ANZCP and the Australian and New Zealand Board of Perfusion (ANZBP) to maintain oversight of training quality, ensure alignment with industry standards, and meet regulatory and professional expectations.
Accreditation is also essential for aligning clinical training sites with academic programs such as the Monash University Master of Cardiovascular Perfusion (MCP) Program.
Only students training at ANZBP-accredited institutions are eligible for enrolment into recognised academic pathways.

Why does accreditation matter?
Oversight and Accountability: Accreditation enables structured monitoring of the training environment, case exposure, and educational support.
Industry Alignment: It ensures that training reflects contemporary perfusion practice, national competencies, and patient safety standards.
University Collaboration: Academic providers rely on ANZBP’s accredited training site list to verify clinical eligibility for student enrolment.
Supervisor Accreditation
Clinical competencies required for Board certification must be directly supervised and assessed by ANZBP-accredited supervisors. Supervisors play a critical role in guiding trainee development, providing feedback, and ensuring trainees meet required performance standards.
To become an accredited supervisor, clinicians must meet eligibility requirements and be approved by the ANZBP.
