Quality and Accreditation

Continuous Quality Improvement
In August 2023, VACCHO hosted the Movement by Improvement – CQI Forum on Wurundjeri Country and brought together staff from Member organizations and supporting stakeholders to share innovative service delivery practices.
Over two days, participants engaged in workshops, yarns and discussions on CQI tool utilisation, fostering a culture of safety and quality, and heard presentations on impactful programs. Key speakers from national projects and local ACCO’s highlighted data, digital health, and innovation in service delivery, showcasing the positive impact of small changes on community health.
VACCHO plans to continue fostering this energy created through the forum to support Member Organisations with Continuous Quality Improvement and will host the forum again in 2024.
