Accreditation

Accreditation

Accreditation is independent recognition that an organisation, service, program or activity meets the requirements of defined criteria or standards.

The NSQHS Standards are a set of standards developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) to promote quality and safety across various healthcare settings, including dental practices.

The NSQHS Standards cover a range of areas, including governance, clinical care, infection control, medication safety, patient identification and communication, and workforce safety.
