completed a Diploma plus 8 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership
completed Year 12 or a Certificate IV plus 10 years full-time paid work experience at managerial or professional level or a professional membership.
Professional memberships must be of an appropriate, recognised professional body in one of the following fields: pharmacy, accounting, speech therapy, urban and regional planning, occupational therapy, actuarial studies, physiotherapy, engineering, law or surveying.
