Programme office
The programme office administers eligibility, dossier integrity, correspondence and the public register.
Professional assessment
Appointed reviewers apply the published framework and record the grounds for their decision.
Conflicts of interest
A reviewer must disclose relevant professional, financial, personal or recent commercial relationships. A conflicted assignment is transferred.
Commercial separation
No application or assessment fee is charged. Sponsorship, advertising and supplier relationships do not determine eligibility, scoring or the conferral of a distinction.
Confidential records
Non-public material is restricted to those responsible for administration, assessment or an authorised review.
