The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is continuing the consultation process on the draft National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health (NSQDMH) Standards.
The Commission recognises that the COVID-19 pandemic has put unprecedented demand on health services and health care workers, and has affected the lives of all Australians. It appreciates any support ANMF (SA Branch) members can provide for this project under the current circumstances.
To allow organisations and individuals additional time to respond, the Commission is extending the end date of the consultation process to 29 May 2020. You can view the draft NSQDMH Standards on the
Commission’s website and provide feedback via an
online survey.
To support the consultation process, the Commission has added new dates to a series of online forums and webinars facilitated by Dr Peggy Brown AO, Senior Clinical Advisor. Members are welcome to attend any of these sessions regardless of their location.
Fact sheets for consumers, carers and clinicians
The Commission has developed a series of fact sheets to provide tips for consumers, carers and clinicians choosing a digital mental health service. These fact sheets are based on the research and consultation the Commission has undertaken during the development of the NSQDMH Standards.
