Pocket Guide to the Accreditation Standards

The Pocket Guide to the Accreditation Standards is designed to serve as a convenient and accessible prompt relating to the 44 expected outcomes. It lists each expected outcome as it is written in the legislation, followed by a summary from the Agency's Results and processes in relation to the expected outcomes of the Accreditation Standards document. The summary identifies the 'focus' of the outcome and the practical 'results' to look for in relation to each expected outcome.
