Thank you for 50 years of dedication

As we honour our 50th Anniversary we look forward to the next chapter of innovation and opportunities.

2024 was a very special year for ACHS, as we celebrated our 50th Anniversary. Throughout the year we honoured our history and all those who have shaped this dedication to safety and quality in Australian healthcare.  
 
ACHS's journey has been marked by numerous key achievements and innovations. From developing comprehensive accreditation programs to introducing cutting-edge data measurement and analysis tools like Metrik, we have continuously adapted to meet the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.  
 
Our unwavering commitment to excellence has positioned ACHS as a trusted partner for quality improvement, offering a wide range of services beyond accreditation, including education, performance data, and consulting. 
 
The success of ACHS over the past 50 years would not have been possible without the collective efforts of countless individuals and organisations. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all ACHS Members, Assessors, Board Directors, Council members, staff, and industry colleagues who have contributed to this remarkable journey. Your dedication, expertise, and passion for healthcare improvement have been instrumental in shaping ACHS into the respected institution it is today.  
 
As we reflect on this significant milestone, we also look forward to the future. ACHS remains committed to its mission of inspiring excellence in healthcare, continuing to build relationships with its Members, and supporting safe, quality care across Australia and around the world. 
 
To showcase all these experiences and share perspectives we created a 50th Anniversary Video Playlist from leaders in the industry. In our final video of the series, we share a celebratory video that looks forward to the next 50years on inspiring excellence in healthcare. 
 
 

Thank you again to all involved in our legacy. Here's to 50 years of excellence, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to better healthcare. As ACHS embarks on the next chapter of its journey, we celebrate the past achievements while embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare standards and quality improvement.
