The Board has implemented random practitioner self audits as a way of fulfilling its obligations to ensure that optometrists and dispensing opticians are competent to practise their professions.
Each year, the Board may ask up to 20 percent of practising practitioners to complete a random self audit of their practice and send it to the Board for review. In the event that an individual's random self audit raises concerns, the Board will write to him/her with its concerns, and invite the practitioner to provide any further information they deem relevant for the Board’s consideration. Upon receipt and consideration of that information, the Board will make a final decision on whether any further steps are required.
