Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program

Our Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program (EQuIP) is a four-year continuous quality assessment and improvement accreditation program for healthcare organisations. It supports excellence in consumer / patient care and services. 

EQuIP was first launched in 1996 and is for healthcare organisations that are not required to be accredited under the National Safety and Quality Health Services (NSQHS) Standards. The EQuIP standards are reviewed approximately every four years to ensure they are up-to-date, evidenced based, and relevant. The current program is EQuIP6 (6th edition).
