Radiance is in the process of becoming accredited against the National Safety and Quality Mental Health Standards for Community Managed Organisations (NSQMHCMO Standards) which will help provide safety and quality assurance for consumers, their families and carers and best practice guidance for community managed service providers.
You can find out all about the accreditation process on the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care website.
