Accreditation badge
Accredited service providers are authorised to display a digital accreditation badge for their service(s). The badge confirms to service users that the service meets the safety and quality requirements of the NSQDMH Standards.
Different badges are awarded depending on whether a service provider receives ‘Accredited for Compliance with the NSQDMH Standards’ or a ‘Working Towards Accreditation with the NSQDMH Standards’ rating. No badge is awarded for services that are not accredited.
Accredited
This badge will state ‘Awarded for Compliance with the NSQDMH Standards’.
Working Towards Accreditation
This badge will state ‘Working Towards Compliance with the NSQDMH Standards’.
Each badge will display the accreditation period (usually three years) and will include the Commission’s logo. The badge colours will change with each accreditation cycle to help service users easily identify if accreditation is current.
How will the badge be displayed?
Accredited service providers can display the badge on their website, app or in their printed materials. They can choose to display it in a horizontal or vertical format. If the badge is used on printed materials, a QR code will link to the Commission’s website to verify accreditation. Service providers are encouraged to display the badge prominently to allow service users to easily see that the service has been accredited.
Terms of use
The Commission has developed Terms of Use for the accreditation which includes guidance for accreditation agencies and service providers.
