Dental Services Accreditation – National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards

The Primary and Community Healthcare Standards were developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission) and were formally launched on 12 October 2021. Assessment to the standards commenced on 1 May 2023.

The Commission has granted approval to HDAA to assess health service organisations using the National Safety and Quality Primary and Community Healthcare Standards (NSQPCH).

Any dental practice that has accreditation to the NSQHSS 1st edition will need to transition to the Primary and Community Healthcare Standards at their next assessment.  Any current certificate is still valid until the expiry date listed on the certificate.

If you have any queries related to your current accreditation, please contact the Dental team.

If you are a Dental Practice needing accreditation to the new Primary and Community Healthcare Standards, please complete a service description and email to dental@hdaau.com.au. We will then provide you with a quote for accreditation to the Primary and Community Healthcare Standards for Dental Practices.

Full information about the Primary and Community Healthcare Standards can be found on the Commission’s website.
