National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards
With the release of the second edition of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards in late 2017, all NT Hospitals will be assessed during hospital accreditation according to these updated standards. Mandatory short notice assessments to the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards will commence from July 2023 - see Short notice accreditation assessment Facts sheet 17
The National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards have been developed to protect the public from harm and improve the quality of health service provision. The NSQHS Standards provide a nationally consistent statement about the level of care consumers can expect from health services.
