Overall, the organisations interviewed provided an impression of the use of the literature to inform their assessment processes and the use of robust, defensible assessments of overseas-trained health professionals who wish to practice in Australia.

This paper documents the process and results generated by the initial phases of a study designed to develop a repeatable and defensible approach to site-based assessment of vegetation condition within the context of species-level biodiversity conservation.
This might produce a better assessment of outcome at defensible cost and might also be useful in a research context.
Therefore, if medically untrained examiners could be used without decreased quality, this might produce a better assessment of outcome at defensible cost and could also be useful in a research context.
Included here are discussions of defensible space, crime prevention through environmental design, assessment of lighting, CCTV, target hardening, natural surveillance, product design, and incivility/disorder.
