The CHIA Examination is based on the Australian Health Informatics Competency Framework (link) and questions need to link to a specific competency and the corresponding level within the Bloom's Revised Taxonomy of Learning.  There are 53 competencies which fall within 6 Competency Domains, these domains are as listed below:

The CHIA program coordinators will supply you with material to guide question development and you will be asked to submit the preliminary item(s) for the CHIA Examination Committee (EC) consideration.

You do not need to have completed your CHIA Examination to write items in your chosen area of expertise.
