Accreditation

All healthcare services are assessed against national standards to ensure they are fundamentally safe and provide quality care. Mater has been evaluated with great distinction under the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards since 1983. In 2013 a new national regulatory framework was introduced by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare. This framework assesses ten National Healthcare Standards that reflect the many dimensions of healthcare services for example; safety, quality, clinical governance, business governance, patient experience and engagement.
