Ethics and scope of practice
All learners agree to practise within their legal and professional scope, follow relevant codes of ethics, and obtain supervision when indicated. RT protocols are client-centred and trauma-informed, and should be applied with informed consent and appropriate record-keeping. If in doubt, consult supervision or refer.
Quick answers
Do I have to be a registered clinician?
Registration is encouraged where your role requires it. RT is also accessible to non-registered helpers (e.g., peer workers, coaches) who commit to ethical practice and remain within scope. Is RT suitable for AOD and rehab settings?
Yes. RT’s state-specific approach supports motivation, relapse prevention, and stabilisation, and integrates with MI, harm minimisation, and trauma-informed care. Can people with lived experience learn RT?
Yes. Many bring valuable insight to peer, community, and support roles. We recommend ongoing supervision and clear boundaries. How do I start?
Begin with Foundation, then move to Clinical. See dates and options here: RTI training.
