The 2021 Preventing and Controlling Infections Standard supports health service organisations to prevent, control and respond to infections that cause outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, including novel and emerging infections.
The Addendum provides guidance to support consistent and comprehensive accreditation assessments against the NSQHS Standards.
