Overview

The standards provide a nationally consistent statement of the level of care consumers should be able to expect from health service organisations. This online micro-credential will introduce you to the 8 Standards of the National Safety and Quality Health Service, and help you develop an understanding of the relevance to nursing practice in terms of consumer protection through best evidence-based practice. As a micro-credential, this course gives you a certificate of completion and a digital badge to display in your profile or share on social media.

This online micro-credential will provide an overview of each of the 10 National Standards and outline the relevance to the health professional. The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the commission) was created by Health Ministers in 2006, and funded by all governments on a cost sharing basis, to lead and coordinate health care safety and quality improvements in Australia. The Standards provide a nationally consistent statement of the level of care consumers should be able to expect from health service organisations.

This is a non-creditable micro-credential which is awarded a digital badge and Certificate of Completion which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Our micro-credentials are aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
