Overview
The Module provides a framework of actions for health service organisations to integrate environmental sustainability and climate resilience strategies to deliver high-quality care.
The Module has been developed to apply in any healthcare setting across Australia. It leverages the organisation’s existing clinical governance framework for its implementation. It can be applied along with other national safety and quality standards with a robust clinical governance framework, such as the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards, the National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health Standards or the National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards.
