Guidance on classification of exposure: prone and non-exposure prone procedures in Australia 2017

Practitioners who want further information about the classification of exposure prone procedures and non-exposure prone procedures can view this document.

These lists are intended as a guide only and do not cover all eventualities and must be interpreted with caution. Moreover, it is recognised that variations in practice exist in Australia, and may change over time, especially as new procedures become available. It is therefore recommended that the over-arching EPP definition given is used primarily as guidance for deciding whether a particular practice/procedure is exposure prone or not.
