Frequently Asked
Questions
- What are STAA's Anatomy & Physiology requirements for the practitioner
membership levels?
- We recognise that effective use of SCENAR in therapy is not dependent on the
therapist's knowledge of human Anatomy and Physiology. Even so, fundamental knowledge of the
modern understanding of how the body is made up and how its systems function set the context of our
work. Also when considering the legislative and professional environment within which we work, a minimum basic understanding of Anatomy &
Physiology provides an element of credence to SCENAR in therapy.
- Those applying for membership who are already in a health profession (such as Medical
Practitioner, Physiotherapist, Remedial Massage therapist, Naturopath, Chiropractor, RN, etc.) will,
in most cases, already comply with our Anatomy & Physiology requirements. If you are
not sure where you stand, please contact us with your
specific details.
- If you have no Anatomy & Physiology qualifications, then we're looking for
evidence of learning at Certificate 4 level. This will usually involve study of about 100
hrs. You have several options available to you from units offered by Universities and other
learning institutions as part of a health science curriculum, through to distance learning.
Please contact us for more information.
- How do we measure experience as a SCENAR Therapist? Is it exactly 2
years?
- Two years after the completion of Level 2 SCENAR training is our
guide. However we understand that a therapist who has been treating say 7 patients a day every day
for, say, 18 months may have more experience than the therapist that has been treating 10 people
a week for two years. Please give us your details.
- I already have adequate professional indemnity insurance. What changes do I
need to arrange?
- You will need to advise your insurer
that you are a SCENAR Therapist (and provide proof of your STAA membership, such as your membership
number) and that you use a SCENAR device. The insurance company will endorse your policy to include
this.
- We have developed a relationship with OAMPS insurance brokers and secured cheap
premiums with them for our members. You may like to compare these premiums and policy benefits
with your current provider.
- How can I be included on RITM Australia's "search for a SCENAR therapist"
website?
- RITM Australia Pty Ltd has, independently of STAA, created
a website tool
that makes it easy for the population to find a SCENAR therapist close to
them. Only therapists that are members of this Association (whatever their membership
category) can be listed. Once you have become a member you will need to contact
RITM to provide them with the details you want listed. You will be asked to upload proof of
membership to this association as well as proof of SCENAR certification. This service has been
provided by RITM Australia for free to our members.
