Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care

The Australian Safety and Quality Framework for Health Care describes a vision for safe and high-quality care for all Australians and sets out the actions needed to achieve this vision. There are three core principles for safe and high-quality care. These are care that is:

  • consumer centred
  • driven by information
  • organised for safety.
