Why Become ACIS Certified?

A commitment to quality
As a community care service provider, ACIS Certification demonstrates your commitment to upholding the highest standards of care for those who use your services.

Human-rights framework
ACIS Certification ensures that your services uphold the dignity and rights of all individuals by providing a framework for best-practice, person-centred care.

Comprehensive standards
ACIS Certification incorporates leadership, mental health, assistive technology, positive behaviour support, trauma-informed care, and clinical governance into its comprehensive framework.

Regular reviews
ACIS is a JASANZ endorsed Standard that is reviewed every three years to ensure its standards maintain relevance and promote excellence within the Australian community care industry.

High Quality Certified Auditing Bodies
ACIS auditors, approved by JASANZ and selected by ACIA, provide high-quality auditing services that go beyond compliance, helping organisations achieve best practices.
