The supervisor need not work at the same location as the registrant, but must make himself/herself available to provide advice or assistance should they be required. The registrant’s work must be reviewed at least once fortnightly by the supervisor via one to one meetings and case-based discussion. These fortnightly meetings must be focused on all areas of concern identified by the conditions.
