There are two Codes of Practice, namely the Australian and New Zealand Code of Practice<\/a> and the International Code of Practice<\/a>. The RTAC Scheme Rules<\/a> defines the requirements for bodies providing audit and certification to these Codes of Practice, and is supported by the Scheme Supplement 1<\/a> which is an ART Unit application form for certification to the RTAC Code of Practice, and Scheme Supplement 2<\/a> which is an audit report template for use by Certification Bodies when assessing compliance with an RTAC Code of Practice.<\/p><\/div>

Australian and New Zealand Code of Practice<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Australian and New Zealand Code of Practice<\/a> is the standard against which ART Units in Australia and New Zealand are audited. In Australia, the Prohibition of Human Cloning for Reproduction and the Regulation of Human Embryo Research Amendment Act 2006 defines an accredited ART centre as a ‘person or body accredited to carry out assisted reproductive technology by the Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee of the Fertility Society of Australia’. As a result, it is currently an offence in Australian Commonwealth law to use human embryos in any way without RTAC licensing. New Zealand has the HART Act 2004 which governs the delivery of ART services.<\/p><\/div><\/div>
