The Cosmetic Surgery Module has been designed to be implemented with the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. The module is only intended for Services who already implement the NSQHS Standards.
This document maps the National Safety and Quality Cosmetic Surgery Standards (Cosmetic Surgery Standards) with the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards. The purpose of the document is to assist service providers who are already assessed to the NSQHS Standards to implement the Cosmetic Surgery Standards.
Where cosmetic surgery is performed in a Service already accredited to the NSQHS Standards, that Service will continue to be assessed to the NSQHS Standards but will also be required to implement 20 additional actions that are specific to cosmetic surgery. The 20 additional actions are highlighted in the Cosmetic Surgery Module.
