What does the Council govern regarding ASET permit or certificate holders?

The Council governs the operation and procedures of ASET permit or certificate holders, which encompasses a broad range of regulatory activities. This governance is essential for ensuring that all members adhere to established standards of practice, ethics, and professionalism in their respective fields. By overseeing the operational protocols, the Council helps maintain the integrity of the profession and promotes public trust in the services provided by permit and certificate holders. This includes setting guidelines for practice protocols, ensuring compliance with professional standards, and enforcing accountability among members, all of which directly impacts how practitioners operate within their scope of practice.

The other options focus on specific aspects that may be important but do not reflect the primary role of governance in the context of the Council's responsibilities. Financial contributions, technology use, and marketing guidelines, while relevant to individual practice aspects, fall under different regulatory areas or may be subject to other forms of oversight that do not necessarily constitute the council's main governance role.
