Accreditation

In Australia, all public and private hospitals are assessed against the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NSQHS).

The standards set out the level of care you should expect when staying in any hospital. They are designed to keep patients safe and improve the quality of health care.

All of our hospitals undergo regular accreditation assessments. You can view the assessment and rating of any St John of God Health Care hospital by searching on the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC) website.
