Three of our staff have returned from a course in Brisbane armed with a better understanding of the accreditation process and some useful tools to help Nhulundu Health Services be prepared for when accreditation occurs. Naomi Jackson, Shannae Saltner and Lani Fleming attended the ‘Accreditation Our Way’ workshops organised by Queensland Aboriginal and Islander Health Council and delivered by experienced auditor Melita Parker.

The course was extremely worthwhile as it demystified accreditation by providing a step-by-step guide and some useful tools to use. Compliance with accreditation and standards enables Nhulundu to plan, measure and be accountable for performance, confirm achievements and identify gaps for improvement.
