Subscribe as an IA Affiliate for tailored content and connection.
Are you working in Aged Care, Disability Services, Mental Health NGOs, or a non-ACHS accredited organisation, and looking to improve the quality and safety of care? With changing regulatory environments, technological advancements and workforce shortages, ongoing education and professional support are essential to delivering the best outcomes for clients and patients.
Please note, if your organisation is accredited by ACHS or ACHSI, you are already automatically eligible for discounts on IA Events, in addition to receiving special invitations to exclusive ACHS Member events. Please contact your quality team for more information about how to access these benefits. Notwithstanding this, any staff member from any part of the health sector is still welcome to become an IA Affiliate.
About the ACHS Improvement Academy
The ACHS Improvement Academy (IA) is a leader in delivering education and training to healthcare professionals and organisations across Australia. We are a trusted provider of quality and safety training for ACHS Member organisations, with over 1000 participants attending our training each year.
As an IA Affiliate, we are extending these benefits to professionals in all healthcare sectors, including those outside of the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) accreditation, so you can access expert-led training, resources, and a like-minded community focused on continuous improvement.
Who Can Join?
If you work in Aged Care, Disability Services, Mental Health NGOs, or any other healthcare organisation that is not currently accredited by ACHS, this program is designed specifically for you.
