Become a surveyor  

Being an ACHS member organisation means you also have the opportunity to become a surveyor. You will have the chance to review other organisations, often in another state, to observe how innovative they have been in meeting the ACHS QDN standards. 

The next ACHS QDN training for surveyors is scheduled for April 2007.
