ASHEPA Professional Membership
Appeals
Eligible ASHEPA professional decisions can be reviewed through an independent appeal process with documented grounds, evidence and reasons.
Independent review
People materially involved in the original decision are not assigned as appeal decision-makers.
Reasoned outcome
The appeal record preserves the original decision, grounds, evidence, panel review and final appeal outcome.
Possible outcomes
An appeal may confirm, vary or set aside the original decision, require reassessment, request additional evidence or substitute another authorised decision where the governance framework permits.
How to appeal
Where a decision is appealable, the decision notice and member portal will provide the appropriate appeal route and deadline. If you need assistance identifying the correct process, contact Membership Support.
