ISO Certification & ACHS Accreditation

ISO Certification

Our ISO certification was completed on 17th November 2003. Certificates are being displayed in all our clinics to show that our health services comply with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001:2000 through a Quality Management System. We will continue to implement our ISO certified management system and maintain registration.

ACHS Accreditation

OT&P has obtained Australian Council for Healthcare Standards (ACHS) accreditation in March 2010. ACHS accreditation is endorsed by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), the body that oversees healthcare standards worldwide, including the USA and UK.

According to ISQua, accreditation is public recognition of achievement by a healthcare organization, of requirements of national healthcare standards and is awarded based on achievement of quality standards and the independent external survey by peers of an organization's level of performance in relation to the standards.

The ACHS website describes the relevance for patients: "For consumers, accreditation is basically an issue of trust. People who use health services want to have confidence that those services are safe and will provide consistent high quality care".

ACHS accreditation follows a 3-year program to continually improve standards at OT&P.
