Our formal Designation and accreditation status enables us to provide independent comprehensive audits and accredited certification that support health and disability services quality development. We are able to work with health and community services not covered by the “Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act” and to agree with them a package of Approved Standards that result in us issuing an independent certificate aligned with that specific health or disability service.
Depending on the standard, the outcome of this process is usually a three or four year certificate of achievement with a follow-up review (surveillance audit) usually at the mid-point until the re-certification. In addition, progress reporting occurs for improvements identified at an audit.
