From 1 July 2021, the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care assumed responsibility for coordinating the National Pathology Accreditation (NPA) Scheme and supporting the development of the pathology accreditation standards.

Requirements for medical pathology services (Third Edition 2018) is currently in use.
