Review cycle

Organisations participating in the QIC Program undertake a continuous four stage cycle:

Stage 1. Internal Review

The organisation

• becomes familiar with the Standards
• critically reflects on their practice in relation to the standard
• identifies evidence of their capacity to meet the standards
• identifies areas for improvement.

Stage 2. External Review

Peer reviewers collect evidence and conduct the assessment of the participating organisation against the Standards.

Stage 3. Feedback

The information in the draft review report is checked with the participating organisation.

Stage 4. Taking Action

In this Stage the participating organisation puts its plans for quality improvement into practice.
