The Registered Soil Practitioner is a new national accreditation program for soil professionals to enhance and standardise expertise across Australia.
Developed in collaboration with soil scientists, industry, government, land and natural resource managers and the wider soil community the accreditation is a symbol of trust for those that work with soils.
RSP accreditation can be achieved through training or recognition for prior learning.
Please note: RSP specialisations Soil Carbon and Soil Conservation are under development. It is anticipated these will be available November 2023.
RSP training supports RSP Soil Management Accreditation but does not guarantee Accreditation. If you have any questions about accreditation get in touch with the team.

To maintain accreditation requires commitment to ongoing, professional development by soil practitioners to ensure that the most relevant and up-to-date soil science knowledge is applied, and so that advice evolves with the best available science.
Accredited RSPs will be listed on the Soil Science Australia website to be identified by people wanting to engage an Accredited RSP.
