Assessor Orientation
The Assessor Orientation training modules are foundational to understanding our National Safety and Quality Standards. They aim to ensure that new assessors have the appropriate skills and knowledge to:
- Work within the rules of the Australian Health Service Safety and Quality Accreditation (AHSSQA) Scheme
- Practically apply structured frameworks for an assessment
- Locate and use resources developed to support assessment and implementation of National Safety and Quality Standards.
Who it’s for
Assessors and health professionals.
Registration is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the assessment process.
Becoming an assessor
To become an assessor, you must complete training prior to commencing assessments. The accrediting agency you are working for will have details of the required training and recruitment process.
The NSQHS Standards Assessor Orientation course must be completed when there are no other prescribed courses for the standards you will be assessing to.
On completion
Assessors will receive a certificate of completion and a unique assessor ID upon completion of required modules.
Certificates are also available to health professionals and consumers upon completion. Health professionals may use these as evidence of self-directed Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activity.
